THE WALL OF FACES

PFC John Kevin Allaire was killed during Operation Mameluke Thrust, when he activated an enemy explosive device (Coffelt Database).

Your sacrifice is not forgotten. Forever 18.

Semper Fi, Marine

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 always be with us....

On the remembrance of your 70th birthday, your sacrifice is not forgotten.

Forever 18.

Semper Fi, Marine.

DEAR PFC ALLAIRE,
THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE AS A MORTARMAN. REST IN PEACE AND SEMPER FI.

Private First Class John Kevin Allaire, Served with Company H, 2nd Battalion, 5th Marine Regiment, 1st Marine Division, Third Marine Amphibious Force.
