THE WALL OF FACES

My father John Timothy Barker named me, David A Barker after his cousin David Leigh Burnett. Today 4/7/23, myself and my daughter Emily G Barker visited his name in remembrance. Thank you David Leigh Burnett for your sacrifice.

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....

Thanks for correcting the photos of David, all are ow David. Listing Lone Pine as David's hometown is incorrect, David grew up on Lightwood street in Lancaster, CA. David was a fun loving kid that loved baseball, girls and cars. To bad he never had a chance to return from Nam with enough money to buy a new Chevy, God must have got him one in heaven

Dear Spec 4 David Burnett,
Thank you for your service as an Infantryman. It is important for us all to acknowledge the sacrifices of those like you who answered our nation's call. Please watch over America, it stills needs your courage and faithfulness. Rest in peace with the angels.
