During 1970, the 20th Engineer Battalion maintained two construction companies along with the 584th Light Equipment Company at Pleiku in Pleiku Province, RVN, to perform work along National Routes QL-14 and QL-19. On May 9, 1970, Bucher was fatally injured in a construction accident at a work site in Pleiku.

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 sunlight 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.
