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 die....

I do not know you but I live in Quincy.
Your sacrifice is not forgotten.
May your soul rest in peace.

Wish I knew you better. You were so loved
by all. I thank you for giving me my freedom and I shall stand with you forever and a day.

DEAR LANCE CPL. AHERN,
THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE AS AN ANTITANK ASSAULTMAN. YOU HAD A HARD MOS. REST IN PEACE AND SEMPER FI,
