THE WALL OF FACES

Jimmy, You were so young,so wise, so brave, so loved.

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

Hello, my name is DrewBunting. I am a senior at Gridley High School. As part of my school assignment, I am writing this remembrance.

This person was very brave for dedicating his life in protecting a country that was not his own in order to protect that country’s citizens’ personal freedoms.

I am a high school student at Gridley High School and I am doing this for my U.S. History class and I just wanted to say thank you. You gave your life up not just for me but for other people to. Even though I didn't know you I still appreciate what you did. You arn't alive to see how everyone in our country lives today but thanks to you, you helped make our country advanced and you didn't even get a chance to see what you did. We all appreciate that.

I am posting remembrances for my U.S. History class at Gridley High School in Gridley, Illinois. Our school is trying to give one to every fallen soldier of the Vietnam War. I just wanted to say how much your sacrifice is appreciated and will never be forgotten.
