THE WALL OF FACES

I will never forget the sacrifices made by all of the Vietnam soldiers and will keep all of you in my heart until my last day on earth.

Your journey on earth ended too soon, but you will have everlasting life in heaven.

Thank you for your bravery and courage.

Rest in peace dear soldier.

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

I don't know why i've been thinking of you lately. Maybe because I am getting old and our brief friendship means more to me than before. I remember our leave after basic and the few beers that we shared and I remember your smile and confidence. I've been to the WALL with my kids and found your name and told them what a great guy you were. Thanks for your friendship and your contribution to the freedom effert. I spend a year in Nam and lately have been think about the other guys in the unit B-2-61 5th Inf Div. Fort Carson Colo. Thank You
