honoring you....
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 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.

Final Mission of SGT Dennis W. Webster
PFC Roy L. Chaney, PSG Richard E. Dodd, SGT Alfredo Salazar, and SGT Dennis W. Webster were members of E Troop, 2nd Squadron, 11th Armored Cavalry. E Troop was based out of Di An in Binh Thuy Province, RVN. Their unit routinely conducted missions consisting of M113 armored personnel carriers and tanks which would form up in a perimeter while away from their base. From these formations daytime dismounted patrols would be launched several thousand meters into the surrounding jungle. The purpose of these patrols was to ambush NVA and Viet Cong operating in the area. The ambushes usually consisted of three Claymore mines “daisy chained” together with a trip-wire detonator. These would be left in place overnight while the patrol returned to their laager. After a night or two, a patrol would go back to the ambush site to assess damage inflicted on the enemy or retrieve the Claymores. On December 31, 1970, PFC Chaney, PSG Dodd, SGT Salazar, and SGT Webster were part of a patrol sent out to recover the ambush devices. A short time after leaving, the patrol radioed that they themselves had been ambushed. Evidently, the enemy detected the American’s Claymores and turned them against the patrol. The results were devastating. All four soldiers suffered fatal fragmentation wounds. Four other troopers behind them were spared when the steel balls fired by the mine went over their heads as they crossed through a depression in the ground. A medivac was requested, and the dead were removed from the field by helicopter. [Taken from coffeltdatabase.org and information provided by Wayne Meece (October 2017)]
