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 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 remember Ramiro well. We went to Vietnam together from Fort Bragg, NC.
I had a brick installed at the Dustoff Memorial in Dover, Delaware in remembrance of Ramiro.

Dear Sp4 Ramiro Herrera, Thank you for your service as a Flight Qualified Medical NCO. Thank you for the lives you saved. It is Memorial Day weekend when we honor you. Please watch over the USA, it still needs your courage. Rest in peace with the angels....

Ramiro Herrera was my cousin. I am so proud of him and his service to our great country. I wish he would have survived his tour in Vietnam so we could have gotten to know him better.
He has no surviving immediate family members to memorialize him so I am acting on their behalf. We miss and love you very much, Ramiro. God bless!

Dear SP4 Ramiro Herrera Jr, sir

As an American, I would like to thank you for your service and for your sacrifice made on behalf of our wonderful country. The youth of today could gain much by learning of heroes such as yourself, men and women whose courage and heart can never be questioned.

May God allow you to read this, and may He allow me to someday shake your hand when I get to Heaven to personally thank you. May he also allow my father to find you and shake your hand now to say thank you; for America, and for those who love you.

With respect, and the best salute a civilian can muster for you, Sir

Curt Carter
