THE WALL OF FACES

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'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.

Dear WO Robert Chamberlain,
Thank you for your service as an Utility & Light Cargo Single Helicopter Pilot. Your 75th birthday is soon. Happy Birthday. Today we celebrate all those who have passed-on. Today, we celebrate you. It is so important for us all to acknowledge the sacrifices of those like you who answered our nation's call. Please watch over America, it stills needs your strength, courage and faithfulness. Rest in peace with the angels.

I DONT KNOW ROBERT CHAMBERLAIN BUT I DO KNOW HARRY T WHETZEL THAT WAS IN THE SAME CRASH, HE WAS MY UNCLE AND I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR ANYONE THAT KNEW HIM.

ROBERT CHAMBERLAIN WAS A HERO
GOD BLESS

Dear WO Robert F Chamberlain, sir

As an American, I would like to thank you for your service and for your sacrifice made on behalf of our wonderful country. The youth of today could gain much by learning of heroes such as yourself, men and women whose courage and heart can never be questioned.

May God allow you to read this, and may He allow me to someday shake your hand when I get to Heaven to personally thank you. May he also allow my father to find you and shake your hand now to say thank you; for America, and for those who love you.

With respect, and the best salute a civilian can muster for you, Sir

Curt Carter

Crew members included CAPT Harry T. Whetzel (KIA), WO1 Robert F. Chamberlain (KIA), SP5 Robert W. Gilliam (KIA), and SP4 Johnny L. Neal (KIA). There are two summaries of the crash: #1 - Aircraft was on a firing mission against enemy positions. Eyewitness on ground talking to pilot pointing out enemy position stated aircraft pitched nose up and out of control, then nosed toward ground and crashed and burned. It was undetermined whether enemy fire or other causes brought down the aircraft. #2 - This gun ship was shot down on an independent mission between Dong Ba Thin and Phan Rang while engaging an enemy .50 caliber machine gun which had a friendly unit pinned down with its deadly fire.
