Remembering An American Hero

Dear AN Wayne Allen Michalak, 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

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 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.

Mary Frye – 1932

NEVER FORGOTTEN

Wayne, I will never forget you buddy, we went to boot camp together in Dec 1966 through 11 weeks till early 1967. Then to my surprise your squadron came on board my ship CVA 34 the US Oriskany and aircraft carrier in the gulf of tonkin, when you were injured on the flight deck by being sucked into the intake of the f8 ,I came to visit you during surgery and they asked for O pos blood I gave blood for the first time to you. I visited you before they removed to the the hospital ship Repose. I was so sadden to hear you later died on board the Repose ...rest in peace dear friend, see you when I get there, love & prayers, John Serra at [email protected]
