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.
As long as you are remembered you will always be with us....
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.
As long as you are remembered you will always be with us....

Distinguished Flying Cross Citation (1st Award)
Curtis Richard Bohlscheid
DATE OF BIRTH: December 9, 1936
HOME OF RECORD:
Pocatello, Idaho
Distinguished Flying Cross
AWARDED FOR ACTIONS
DURING Vietnam War
Service: Marine Corps
Rank: Captain
GENERAL ORDERS:
CITATION:
The President of the United States of America takes pride in presenting the Distinguished Flying Cross (Posthumously) to Captain Curtis Richard Bohlscheid, United States Marine Corps, for heroism and extraordinary achievement while participating in aerial flight as a Helicopter Aircraft Commander attached to and serving with Marine Medium Helicopter Squadron TWO HUNDRED SIXTY-FIVE (HMM-265) in Vietnam on 21 and 22 April 1967. Captain Bohlscheid flew in an emergency night troop lift of two Marine companies to reinforce the positions at Nui Loc Som, which had been under heavy enemy attack all afternoon. The flight was conducted against heavy enemy automatic weapons fire and under adverse weather conditions, which forced the helicopters down into close range of the enemy guns. Exercising skillful judgment, iron determination and displaying superior aeronautical skill, Captain Bohlscheid maneuvered his aircraft to a safe landing inside the landing zone, marked by only three flashlights. On his second approach into the landing zone his aircraft was hit several times by enemy fire and severely damaged, forcing him to wave off his approach and return to base. With one Marine company in place, the mission was postponed until the weather improved. When the decision was made to continue, he unhesitatingly volunteered to complete the mission. Captain Bohlscheid subsequently made three trips into the landing zone, under enemy fire, completing the mission on 23 April 1967. His courageous and selfless actions were in keeping with the highest traditions of the Marine Corps and of the United States Naval Service.
