THE WALL OF FACES

You would have been 79 years old. Thank you for your service and sacrifice. RIP handsome 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 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.

Specialist Four Robert Volnie Bair, Served with the Headquarters and Headquarters Troop, 1st Squadron, 11th Armored Cavalry Regiment, United States Army Vietnam.
