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.

SFC Tadeusz "Teddy" M. Kepczyk is buried at Lafayette Memorial Park in Fayetteville, NC.

Your sacrifice is not forgotten.

HOOAH

Dear SFC Tadeusz Kepczyk, Thank you for your service as a Special Forces Indirect Fire Infantryman. I researched you on the 52nd anniversary of the start of your tour. Saying thank you isn't enough, but it is from the heart. Today is Thanksgiving, so this is the perfect time to say thanks. The time passes quickly. Please watch over America, it stills needs your strength, courage, guidance and faithfulness. Rest in peace with the angels.

Some of the photographs were graciously submitted by Teddy's son, Roman. SFC Kepczyk served in many capacities in the Special Forces and is also memorialized in the Special Operations Command Memorial. The family would like to hear stories from his friends and acquaintances....

Thank you for your service and your sacrifice. Thank you for stepping up and answering your country's call. Rest easy knowing you will never be forgotten.
