THE WALL OF FACES

Corporal John Louis Adams, Served with B Troop, 1st Squadron, 1st Cavalry Regiment, Americal Division, United States Army Vietnam.

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 truly die....

DEAR CPL. ADAMS,
YOUR MOS WAS INDIRECT FIRE INFANTRYMAN. THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE. REST IN PEACE.

This is my uncle and i thank him for his sacrifice

Dear CPL John Louis Adams, 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
