Final Mission of PFC Lawrence Geiger
During the late summer of 1970, following its withdrawal from Cambodia, the 1st Cavalry Division (Airmobile) conducted combat operations in War Zone III. Primary activities included interdicting enemy infiltration routes along the border with Cambodia, targeting main force, local force, and enemy headquarters, and locating and destroying enemy ammunition caches. Ground combat during the month of August was moderate, with most enemy-initiated contacts occurring as they defended cache sites. At 9:40 AM on August 22nd, Third Platoon, D Company, 1st Battalion, 7th Cavalry, was moving from its overnight defensive position in the hills 27 kilometers (16.2 miles) northeast of Dong Xoai (Don Luan) city in Phuoc Long Province, RVN, when it received small arms and automatic weapons fire from five individuals approximately 150 yards to the south. The Americans returned fire with unit weapons and supporting arms including artillery and helicopter gunships. Contact was broken thirty minutes later. Four U.S. were killed in the engagement. They included PFC Kenneth D. Bills, PFC Robert M. Durall, PFC Lawrence Geiger, and PFC Robert O. Niman. Enemy losses were unknown. Bills and Durall were posthumously promoted to Corporal.

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.
