THE WALL OF FACES

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.

May those who served never be forgotten. Rest in peace LTC. Foster, I salute your brave soul. My heart goes out to you and your family.

Lieutenant Colonel Everett Edward Foster Jr., Served with the 12th Air Commando Squadron, 315th Air Commando Wing, 7th Air Force.

Ev was friends with my father when we were stationed at Wheelus AFB (Tripoli) in the early 60's. Our families took a trip to Tunisia in our VW bugs. I remember when my father told me of his fatality. On veterans day, thanks for your service.
