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 sun 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.

As long as you are remembered you will always be with us....

Captain Samuel Earl Asher, Served with Company E, 2nd Battalion, 502nd Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne Division, United States Army Vietnam.

DEAR CAPTAIN ASHER,
THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE AS AN ARMY INFANTRY UNIT COMMANDER. I WAS BORN ON YOUR BIRTHDAY - JUST DIFFERENT DECADES/ REST IN PEACE.

Dear Captain Samuel Earl Asher, sir

As an American, I would like to thank you for your service and for your sacrifice made on behalf of our wonderful country. The youth of today could gain much by learning of heroes such as yourself, men and women whose courage and heart can never be questioned.

May God allow you to read this, and may He allow me to someday shake your hand when I get to Heaven to personally thank you. May he also allow my father to find you and shake your hand now to say thank you; for America, and for those who love you.

With respect, Sir

Curt Carter
