THE WALL OF FACES

Dear PFC William Ullmer, Thank you for your service as a Rifleman. Saying thank you isn't enough, but it is from the heart. Labor Day was yesterday. Time passes quickly. Please watch over America, it still needs your strength, courage, guidance and faithfulness, especially now. Rest in peace with the angels.

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.

Both born on 2/19/1949 you, too, would be 72 now.

PFC William Arthur Ullmer Jr. is buried in Section E, Site 288 of the Fort Rosecrans National Cemetery in San Diego, CA.

Your sacrifice is not forgotten.

Forever 18.

I bought a magazine titled Post of the Corps with you name in your handwriting in the inside cover. The date is July 1963. I would like to return to your family. Any help to achieve this goal is appreciated.

Dear PFC William Arthur Ullmer Jr, sir

As an American, I would like to thank you for your service and for your sacrifice 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. May he also allow my father to find you and shake your hand now to say thank you; for America, and for those who love you.

With respect, Sir

Curt Carter
