THE WALL OF FACES

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....

You were one of the brave that answered the call. You honored us by your service and sacrifice. We now honor you each time we stand and sing the words “THE LAND OF THE FREE AND THE HOME OF THE BRAVE”. Rest in Peace and Honor Ernest.

DEAR PFC ALSTON,
THANK YOU FOR BEING A GRUNT. YOU PASSED ON THE PATRON SAINT OF OUR ORIGINAL HOME. MAY HE GUIDE YOU.
REST IN PEACE.

Private First Class Ernest Alston Jr., Served with Company B, 1st Battalion, 27th Infantry Regiment, 25th Infantry Division.
