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 Sgt Marvin Noe, Thank you for your service as an Indirect Fire Infantryman. 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.

Dear SGT Marvin Lewis Noe, 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, Sir

Curt Carter

Marvin was one year ahead of me in High School. I went on a date with him a few weeks before he left for Viet Nam and that was the last time I saw him. He was such a really nice guy and I had hoped we could see each other again after he returned...but he never did. I was so sad when I read in the Constitution that he was killed. God Bless his family and friends. I still feel sadness when I think of him.

I just wanted to let you know,your old friend Steve Wallace used to talk to me about you. You are not forgotten
