THE WALL OF FACES

.

Kenneth is buried at Mt Zion Cem, Sabine Par, LA.

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

Well, it's Sunday afternoon and I am looking at the list of men who were killed on this date in Viet Nam.

It's close to Christmas and I think about how difficult it was for family members, not only when someone was killed in the month of December, but in every year after that. The Christmas season was always a reminder of intense pain.

Kenneth Edward Grove was 23 years old and had been in the Army for four years.

He was married and his home of record was Parkton, Maryland.

Kenneth had been in Viet Nam one month and five days, when he was killed, December 15, 1966.

He was a member of the First Infantry Division.

Godspeed Kenneth!
