THE WALL OF FACES

Sergeant Billie Ray Acree, Served with Company C, 2nd Battalion, 502nd Infantry Regiment, 1st Brigade, 101st Airborne Division, United States Army Vietnam.

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 never die...

Thank you for your service and your sacrifice. Thank you for stepping up and answering your country's call. Rest easy knowing you will never be forgotten.

Billie you left us way to soon . I'm proud of you! God bless you and all those who have sacrificed for all of us!! You are a hero
