THE WALL OF FACES

Never forgotten.

Semper Fi, Marine

You will forever remain in our hearts and prayers

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 truly die....

DEAR PFC ALSTON,
THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE A A MARINE GRUNT.
YOU SHARE A BIRTHDAY WITH MY GRANDSON, BUT HE WAS 70 YEARS AFTER YOU.
REST IN PEACE AND SEMPER FI.

Private First Class Bennie Alston, Served with Company H, 2nd Battalion, 5th Marine Regiment, 1st Marine Division, Third Marine Amphibious Force.
