Remembering An American Hero
Dear LCPL William Albert Atwell, 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, and the best salute a civilian can muster for you, Sir
Curt Carter

SERVED WITH BILL IN VIETNAM
Bill Atwell served with me on my M60 Gun Team.
Bill was "Wounded in Action" on June 12, 1968. I last saw Bill in a hospital in Japan on July 1, 1968.
I found out Nov. 1999 (31 years later) that Bill died from his wounds in Japan hospital on July 27, 1968 (27 days after I last seen him).
It was an "HONOR" to have served with and know Bill.
I will keep his memory alive for the rest of my life...

NATIVE AMERICAN PRAYER
It is said a man hasn't died as long as he is remembered. This prayer is a way for families, friends and fellow veterans to remember our fallen brothers and sisters. 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 hush, I am the swift, uplifting rush of quiet birds in circled flight, I am the stars that shine at night. Do not stand at my grave and cry, I am not there, I did not die.
