THE WALL OF FACES

Never forgotten.

Semper Fi, Marine

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.

We rode together for 90 days on LZ Baldy and slept in same hooch. I was ready to rotate back to the US when we got the sad news. Mike Firth and I identified you which was the hardest thing I have ever done. Semper Fi buddy tell we meet again. Cpl. Joe Harris
