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 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.
Mary Frye – 1932

NATIVE AMERICAN PRAYER
It is said a man hasn't died as long as he is remembered. This prayer is a way for families, friends and fellow veterans to remember our fallen brothers and sisters. 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 hush, I am the swift, uplifting rush of quiet birds in circled flight, I am the stars that shine at night. Do not stand at my grave and cry, I am not there, I did not die

In My Thoughts
Dear Soldier,
My name is Amanda Kinney, I am 17 years old, and a senior at Gridley High School. I am posting remembrances on behalf of our Gridley High School Posting Project. You were close to my age when you fought and gave the Supreme Sacrifice. I sit here and wonder would I have the courage to do what you did, and I know I would be too scared to give my all. You gave your all to our country, fighting for what you believed in, and you will never be forgotten for that.
God Bless,
Amanda

Thank You
Dear Soldier, I want to thank you for the great
sacrifice that you have paid for the freedom of every
American citizen. I am a student at Gridley High
School in Gridley Illinois and we are doing this as a
Gridley High School Posting Project for world history.
I on the other hand am doing this as much more than
just a student with another assignment that has to be
done. To me this means a lot more because I had an
uncle that was in the Vietnam War, and he about lost
his life in battle. I appreciate the actions that you
took in trying to keep our country safe and secure.
It is just a great feeling to know that we are being
protected by people like you that are willing to lay
it all down on the line and pay the ultimate sacrifice
for this reason. I thank you again and may God Bless.

Thank You!
Hi! I am writing this in order to thank you for the sacrifice you made to our country. I know how hard it must have been and I know that many people could not have done what you did. You definitely were a courageous person. I know that you are greatly missed, but you will never be forgotten. I am saying this to you from everyone in Gridley, Illinois. R.I.P Crystal Alvey
