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.

Dear PFC Willie Jackson, Thank you for your service an Infantryman with 1st Cavalry. Saying thank you isn't enough, but it is from the heart. It's the end of summer and Labor Day weekend. The time passes quickly. Please watch over America, it stills needs your strength, courage and faithfulness. Rest in peace with the angels.

Dear PFC Willie Jackson, 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

Willie is buried at St Paul's Cemetery in Albany, GA.

As part of the Gridley High School Posting Project, my mission is to let as many veterans know that I have not forgotten their sacrifice, and I appreciate all they have done for America. Willie, you will always be remembered for your courage, bravery, and strength. Thank you for this ultimate price you have paid.

Thank you!
Jen Steffen
