THE WALL OF FACES

George, we were together in Basic Training at Ft. Bliss, TX, back in '67.

I remember you fondly as a nice and quiet guy who never complained about the training, even when we were being pushed hard.

At ease, brother, as I salute you - an honor I wish I did not have. May God bless you Eternally.

We would like to take some time to honor a hero who served in the Vietnam War. George A. Capuano was born on September 30, 1941. He lived in San Diego, CA with his parents, George and Ruth Capuano, and his only sister Harriet Capuano Brockman. He attended Escondido High School and was alter boy at the Holy Spirit Church. Capuano enlisted in the army in 1968 and was sent to Thua Thien Province. He was a sergeant in the 101st Airborne Division for four months. On June 24, 1970 he was killed in action by a arms fire. Capuano is now buried at Fort Rosecrans National Cemetery in San Diego. May he rest in peace.

I never met you, but i know i'll never forget you.

George, Although we never met, I just want you to know you are not forgotten. You gave the ultimate sacrifice, your life for what you believed in. Sleep well my friend, and thank you for protecting the freedoms we have today.

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
