do not stand at my grave and weep
Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there. I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry;
I am not there. I did not die.
I am not there. I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry;
I am not there. I did not die.

Final Mission of WO1 Darwin H. Engman
On May 6, 1966, a U.S. Army helicopter UH-1D (tail number 63-12988) from B Troop, 1st Squadron, 9th Cavalry, 1st Cavalry Division, was on final approach for an attempted insertion of a search & destroy team during Operation Davy Crockett in the vicinity of Thanh Son, 3 miles southwest of Tam Quan, Binh Dinh Province, RVN, when the aircraft picked up heavy enemy fire and crashed in the landing zone (LZ). During the approach to the LZ, enemy rounds entered the cockpit area, hitting aircraft commander WO1 Darwin H. Engman in the chest and right leg, fatally wounding him. The pilot, WO1 Charles R. Lawhon, survived the attack and crash and was able to exit the helicopter. He was immediately killed by hostile fire, receiving hits in the head and neck. Another crewman, gunner SP4 Stephan E. Thomas, also received fatal head and chest wounds. Two other crewmen survived. Another two passengers were also killed in the incident, members of an aero rifle platoon, SSGT John H. Rego and SGT William E. Soderstrom. After the downed aircraft was secured by elements of 1/9 Cavalry, it was determined a Viet Cong battalion was situated in a nearby village.
