THE WALL OF FACES

We served almost a year together in B/4/77 101 ABD Republic of Vietnam. It was an honor serving with you. Remembering you this Memorial Day 2023.

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.

As with other FA OCS Class 503-68 members, I remember Rich as the contemporary that we looked up to when we were challenged to tasks that needed to be strack, finished quickly, or finished quietly. He was a good friend to all of us and a real asset to our battery.

Captain Richard David Hulse was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross, with Oak Leaf Cluster, for his heroism and extraordinary achievement while engaged in aerial flight. He served as Rotary Wing Aviation Unit Commander and was assigned to
B BTRY, 4TH BN, 77TH ARTILLERY, 101ST ABN DIV.

Capt Hulse was in my unit in RVN. More Strack than most in my battery. Commanded a platoon ( not mine) there. Well regarded. Knew his USMA history. Sad day when he crashed. Remembering him on this Memorial Day 2020.
