THE WALL OF FACES

Jack is buried at Memorial Gardens, Colorado Springs, El Paso Co, CO. PH

Semper Fi, Marine.

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.

Mary Frye – 1932

Although we never met personally, I want to thank you Jack Dean Gilbert, for your courageous and valiant service, faithful contribution, and your most holy sacrifice given to this great country of ours!

Your Spirit is alive--and strong, therefore Marine, you shall never be forgotten, nor has your death been in vain!

Again, thank you PFC J.D. Gilbert, for a job well done!

REST IN ETERNAL PEACE MY MARINE FRIEND

Jack was my older brother's best friend and like a brother to me. He lived with us for awhile and he was always so patient and kind to me. I remember the day we heard he died. Jack will always be remembered for who he was and what he gave, even to the very end. We'll always remember and appreciate you, Jack.
