do not stand at my grave and weep....

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.

I will never forget the porters

When I was 5 years old Gary was a life guard in the summer of 1961 he personally taught me how to swim at Cranberry Cove in Hanson. All I knew that he was killed in action just before school let out for the summer of 67. His family had an apple farm selling cider apples and Christmas trees. Later in my life I was able to visit Washington several times and etched Gary memorial along with three others who gave their lives to protect our county. May you never be forgotten…..

Dear Cap. Gary Porter, Thank you for your service as an HMH Helicopter Pilot. Your 54th anniversary is soon, sad. Saying thank you isn't enough, but it is from the heart. Memorial Day just passed when our nation remembers your sacrifice. Time passes quickly. Please watch over America, it stills needs your strength, courage and faithfulness, especially now. Rest in peace with the angels.

Remembering Gary

I served with Gary in 1967 in Vietnam. We shared an R&R trip to Hong Kong early in the year. I spent some time yesterday thinking about him and the others I served with who did not return.
Semper Fidelis
