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.

Dear Sp4 Ronald Natalie, Thank you for your service as a Light Air Defense Artillery Crewman. Your 73rd birthday is soon, happy birthday. Saying thank you isn't enough, but it is from the heart. It’s a New Year, but not necessarily better. Time passes quickly. Please watch over America, it stills needs your strength, courage and faithfulness, especially now. Rest in peace with the angels.

Ron you are not forgotten. I used to ride the bus with you every morning from your house to Jefferson High School. You went inside & I transferred to another bus to St. Charles Elementary School in Newport. I looked forward to our daily visits and was quite sad when you were KIA. I will always remember my special friend...See you in Valhalla buddy.

Ronny......Honoring you on your birthday...God Bless

Specialist Four Ronald John Natalie, Served with Battery B, 4th Battalion, 60th Artillery Regiment, First Field Force, United States Army Vietnam.
