You ain't heavy, you are my brother
We picked you up in the helicopter after being shot. Airborne and automatic enemy fire hit us and transmission fluid caught on fire and lost power. We crashed landed in a rice paddy and I exit with my M-60 machine gun ready for a fight. The helicopter was burning and you were still in it. I rushed over and with help of crew chief we pulled you to the ground and away from burning helicopter. We loaded you into another UH-34 helicopter and took you to hospital. I learned of your name decades later and found out you died that day. I survived and will remember you always. Semper Fidelis.

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.
As long as you are remembered you will never die...
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 never die...
