THE WALL OF FACES

Donald is buried at Rest Haven Cemetery, Decatur,GA.

If I should die, and leave you here awhile, be not like others, sore undone, who keep long vigils by the silent dust, and weep...for MY sake, turn again to life, and smile...Nerving thy heart, and trembling hand to do something to comfort other hearts than thine...Complete these dear, unfinished tasks of mine...and I, perchance, may therein comfort you.

DONALD RAY BROOKS, I was "in country" when you made the supreme sacrifice. I never met you there and until now I didn't know you were gone. But from now on, every time I hold my hand over my heart at our anthem, I will remember you, dear friend.
