THE WALL OF FACES

Ron, Your service and sacrifice will always be remembered! It was an honor to serve with you. May God continue to bless you and your family. Semper Fi!

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.

Ron from the bottom of my heart I want to thank you for serving this great country. You always showed up for school sharp and ready to go to work. And football was much more fun learning from the upper classmen. Little did I know I would walk the same fields as you and John. May I say to both of you welcome home. Semper Fidelis.

Private First Class Ronald Richard Barcalow, Served with Company A, 1st Battalion, 3rd Marine Regiment, 3rd Marine Division, Third Marine Amphibious Force.
