THE WALL OF FACES

Private First Class Ronald Eli Alincic, Served with Company D, 1st Battalion, 46th Infantry Regiment, 198th Infantry Brigade, Americal Division, United States Army Vietnam.

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.

As long as you are remembered you will never truly die.

PFC Ronald E. Alincic and SP4 Stewart C. Emerson were infantrymen serving with D Company, 1st Battalion, 46th Infantry, 198th Infantry Brigade, Americal Division. At about 9:45 AM on October 12, 1968, they were in a defensive position with other members of their unit, approximately eight miles southeast of Tam Ky Airfield in Quang Tin Province, RVN, when their location was hit by lightning. Seven soldiers were injured in the incident. Alincic and Emerson, who were both critically hurt, died of their injuries. [Taken from coffeltdatabase.org]
