THE WALL OF FACES

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.

As long as you are remembered you will never die....

Even though I never got to meet you, I heard countless stories growing up of your bravery and sacrifice. My dad looked up to you as not only a older cousin, but as a hero. He later joined the army in the 70s, hoping to be more like you. He passed away in 2016, and I hope he finally got to be with you again. Thank you for your service and sacrifice. -Adam

Emmitt......Honoring you on your birthday......Never forgotten.......God Bless

DEAR PFC ADAMS,

THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE. I WISH I COULD SAY MORE, BUT THERE ARE NO WORDS TO MAKE UP FOR YOUR SACRIFICE.

REST IN PEACE.

Emmitt is buried at Bennie Adams Cemetery, Isom, Letcher County, KY.
