THE WALL OF FACES

It is said a man hasn't died as long as he is remembered. This prayer is a way for families, friends and fellow veterans to remember our fallen brothers and sisters. 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 hush, I am the swift, uplifting rush of quiet birds in circled flight, I am the stars that shine at night. Do not stand at my grave and cry, I am not there, I did not die

Dear Michael,
I am a sophomore at Gridley High School, Gridley Illinois. I would like to say thank you for sacrificing your life for our country. It really means a lot to me and to your family. They must be very proud of you for your time and effort that you have shown.
Thank you and God bless!
Emily Ringger

Mike;

I'm sorry man. I'm sorry I haven't left a message for you before now. I knew you were here all by yourself, with no messages. I never knew what to say and goddam it. I just forgot. That's not right. I've been to the wall twice now and touched your name, you, Richard Karger, and George Myrick and have been free ever since. All heros, all the best we had. I may have forgotten to leave you a message, but I haven't forgotten your sacrafice.
