do not stand at my grave and weep

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.

Operation Pegasus

I noticed a 2019 posting by one of Joe's classmates that he was killed by "friendly fire." In fact the part of our night perimeter that Joe was on was overrun and he and 7 other Mongoose Bravo Troops were KIA. We fought off the attackers and recovered our dead. I helped load Joe and the others on a chopper for their trip home and then I jumped on the next log bird to begin my trip home; my last day in the field. Joe was in 1st platoon, I was in 2nd but as we were both old timers we kept track of each other and got to be friends. I can still see him.

High school buddies

Joe and I went to M. Carmel High School in South Central Los Angeles. He was a quiet guy and everyone in the class liked him. When I we helping put together our 30 year highs school reunion, I was shocked to hear about him. He was killed by 'friendly fire' during the Tet offensive.
