THE WALL OF FACES

Never forgotten.

HOOAH

Corporal Alfred Eli Alvey Jr., Served with Company B, 2nd Battalion, 502nd Infantry Regiment, 1st Brigade, 101st Airborne Division, United States Army Vietnam.

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.

DEAR CORPORAL ALVEY,
THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE AS A GRUNT.
REST IN PEACE.
