THE WALL OF FACES

Winfield was one of the Best Friends I had in Vietnam. I remember our game of 500 Rummy when we set up at night. Miss you to this day Sir. Prayers offered always.

I was in the 5/7cav from March67 to march68. Lt Beck was one of the best men a man could know. All of the men in C company were really a great bunch of guys. They risked their life to help you when you were hurt. I think about them for the past 50 years every day. Thank all of you for your service.

I served with Lt Beck in C Co, 5th Bn,7th Cav in 1967-1968...after I was wounded and helped out of a rice paddy, Lt. Beck removed my dirty glasses and cleaned them for me...I was medically evacuated from Vietnam, but I will never forget his act of kindness...I was so sorry to hear about his death about a week later...

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 sun 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.

On the remembrance of your 78th birthday, your sacrifice is not forgotten.
