THE WALL OF FACES

Don is buried at Strangers Home Cemetery near Alicia, AR.

It is said a man hasn't died as long as he is remembered. This prayer is a way for families, friends and fellow veterans to remember our fallen brothers and sisters. 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 hush, I am the swift, uplifting rush of quiet birds in circled flight, I am the stars that shine at night. Do not stand at my grave and cry, I am not there, I did not die.

Although we never met personally, I want to thank you Donald Paul Hamilton, for your courageous and valiant service, many years of faithfully contributing, and 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 Staff-Sergeant Hamilton, for a job well done!

REST IN ETERNAL PEACE MY MARINE FRIEND

Donald Paul Hamilton,

Family, friends, pets, spouses, religion, co-workers, and hobbies are all things that you left behind to server our country. You might not have realized it then but you are a HERO. You also might not have realized either that you accomplished what Christ sent you to do. He put you on earth to defend our country and that too means that you are a HERO. Your bravery and dedication meant the world to me. I know that I will never forget you. You have done so much for our country, I pray that on one else forgets you either.

God Bless,
Jamie Dennison
