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 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.

As long as you are remembered you will never truly die....

You were all so brave on our last mission together. You volunteered so the 'younger guys' wouldn't have to go. We rolled in 'hot' to cover our lead ship - it was their only chance of survival. We all knew the risk but all agreed to press on. You gave your life so others could live. I'll remember you, Sgt. Reeves, and CWO Ron Fields forever. It was my honor to have served with you all.

DEAR MASTER SERGEANT ADLER,
THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE AS A HUEY - UH - 1 HELICOPTER REPAIRER.
REST IN PEACE.
