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 Cpl Gilbert Peixoto, Thank you for your service as an Indirect Fire Infantryman with the 1st Cavalry. I researched you on your 51st anniversary, sad. Saying thank you isn't enough, but it is from the heart. It is the Easter season. Time passes quickly. Please watch over America, it stills needs your strength, courage and faithfulness, especially now. Rest in peace with the angels.

It took me 48 years to hunt down a photo of you, after being a "faceless" casualty you finally have a photo to go with your name. RIP Uncle Gilbert.

Uncle Gilbert your mother ,sisters and Brothers did an amazing job of keeping your Legacy around . They have all shared there family stores about you. Can't help but feel that we would have been a lot alike .
Know that your spirt lives and we will all meet some day .

Love FFP

Dear CPL Gilbert Coroa Peixoto, sir,

As an American, I would like to thank you for your service and for the ultimate sacrifice that you 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. And please know that men and women like you have stepped forward to defend our country yet again, showing the same love for country and their fellow Americans that you did- you would be proud.

With respect, and the best salute that a civilian can muster for you.

Curt Carter
