THE WALL OF FACES

I met Kenny and Pat when I was stationed in Germany. They took care of me when I was off base. I remember they had a little girl and I remember she was pregnant when he was sent to Vietnam. I didn’t know he was KIA until I was out of the service. He was 5 days younger than I was and it broke my heart. To this day I think about his family. I’m now in the American Legion and I do military honors for our deceased Veterans and I always think about him.

Never forgotten.

HOOAH

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....
