THE WALL OF FACES

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...

Hello. My name is Michael Fisk. Just about a year ago, March 2020, I learned that Capt. Franklin D Bryan was my birth father. Frank and my birth mom meet while he was at Ft. Wolters learning to be a helicopter pilot, and she was a student at nearby TCU. Together they made the decision to place me for adoption and I will be forever grateful. I was born Jan. 1968, sadly Frank was killed just over a year later in Feb.1969. He never had a chance to tell his family about me. But I have meet them as well, and they have welcomed me with open arms. They have told many many stories about Frank, but I was looking if anyone from this site who knew him to would be willing to tell me their stories as well. Please contact me at [email protected]
Thanks so much.
Michael Fisk

The war may be forgotten but the warrior will always be remembered. All gave Some-Some gave All. Rest in peace Franklin.

God Bless You Franklin
RIP
