Remembering An American Hero
Dear GMG3 Lester Allen 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

For GMG3 Lester Allen WRIGHT, USN...another of Irwin's bravest heroes who fought and died for us!!!!
He loved us so.
Every day, in a hundred ways, he told us so.
In honesty, in affection, he told us so.
He loved us so.
Every day, in a hundred ways, he showed us so.
With loyalty and bravery, he showed us so.
He was our defender, and he kept us free!
He took an oath to guard us, and fought for liberty!
He loved us so, and we should know.
For we loved him so.
Gunner's Mate Wright, your service will be remembered forever, for you sacrificed your life for all os us, to defend liberty everywhere!
I am free to listen to music in any way I please. My three favorite songbirds are, one: Avonmore's own Jill Corey; Two: Julie Andrews; and Three: Dusty Springfield, although Dusty is no longer with us in the physical. I believe Jill would be proud of your service to our country. Fair winds and calm seas to you.

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 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.
Mary Frye – 1932
