"Oh The Memories And The Pain"
Stanley M. Baker was my brother and the kindest man I have ever known. I have a picture of him at the Guilford Country Fair, Guilford, VT, sitting on the running-board of a car; me maybe 3 years of age, sitting on his lap, he helping me to drink from a soda bottle. I was 16 years old when we received the devastating news. Rest in peace soldier. I am proud to have known you and call you my brother. I love you and thank you for the wonderful memories. Your sister, Bethany M. Baker Kemp

do not stand at my grave and weep
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.
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.

Final Mission of 2LT Stanley M. Baker
2LT Stanley M. Baker served with the U.S. Army’s 5th Special Forces Group and was assigned to Detachment A-416 at Kinh Quan. On May 20, 1967, 2LT Baker was traveling in an assault boat with three others on a canal in Kien Tuong Province, RVN, when they were ambushed by the Viet Cong about four miles from the Cambodian border. The attack occurred about 5:00 PM while enroute from Ap Bac to Moc Hoa. The enemy attacked with grenades and small arms, killing all four personnel. The dead included Baker, a Philippine agricultural representative working for the U.S. Agency for International Development, a member of the South Vietnamese government armed propaganda team, and the son of the deputy commander of the propaganda team. When the boat failed to arrive at its destination, an Army observation plane was sent out and found the bodies.
