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.

Uncle Les

The photo showing 4 people on a sofa are of L to R, my dad John William Wright (USMC, the oldest), Howard Wright (USN, the youngest brother), June Broussard (the youngest sibling) and Leslie Wright (Army, the 2nd oldest). You have a nephew and a great niece named for you as of this writing (Jan. 2024).

I have a brief memory of you from when I was 7 and we visited you at Ft. Benning in 1966, before you shipped out. Your wife was one of the sweetest ladies I ever met. Your family still misses you.

There is a correction, he was from Livingston County and Wayne County Michigan, not Livingston, MI. Maybe someone will see this and correct it.

Thank You

Dear SSgt Leslie Wright, Thank you for your service as an Infantry Direct Fire Crewman. Saying thank you isn't enough, but it is from the heart. Lent has begun. Time passes quickly. Please watch over America, it stills needs your strength, courage, guidance, and faithfulness, especially now. Rest in peace with the angels.

Remembering An American Hero

Dear SSGT Leslie Edward Wright, 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, and the best salute a civilian can muster for you, Sir

Curt Carter
