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 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 die...

On June 24, 1969, a U.S. Army helicopter OH-6A (tail number 66-17813) from D Troop, 1st Squadron, 4th Cavalry, 1st Infantry Division, based at Phu Loi Base Camp was on a reconnaissance mission near Ap Bau Bang in Binh Duong Province, RVN, when it was downed by enemy ground fire. The aircraft was destroyed and both crewmen, pilot WO James K. Ameigh and gunner SP4 James A. Slater, were killed. [Taken from coffeltdatabase.org and vhpa.org]
