THE WALL OF FACES

Never forgotten.

Semper Fi, Marine

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.

Thank you for your service and your sacrifice. Thank you for stepping up and answering your country's call. Rest easy knowing you will never be forgotten.

Dear SSGT John Chutis,
Thank you for your service as an Infantry Unit Leader. Happy Thanksgiving. This is the month that we remember all those who have passed-on. We remember 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.

He loved us so.
Every day, in a hundred ways, he told us so.
In honesty, in affection, he told us so.
He loved us so.
Every day, in a hundred ways, he showed us so.
With loyalty and bravery, he showed us so.
He was our defender, and he kept us free!
He took an oath to guard us, and fought for liberty!
He loved us so, and we should know.
For we loved him so.
Sergeant Chutis, you were one of Elizabeth's bravest of heroes, who fought for the right, without question or pause! You were one brave man who did brave deeds for our America! You had set out, with justice in your heart, to help those oppressed! You were the very essence of DUTY!...HONOR!...and COUNTRY! You had been there and done that in Vietnam! I believe, strongly, that Avonmore's own Jill Corey, whom I greatly admire as one of my three top favorite songbirds of all time, the other two being Julie Andrews, England's musical queen, and Dusty Springfield, anjother thrush from England who passed on, would be very proud of your service to America, and the sacrifices made by you to keep our country free! Well done, Sergeant! be thou at peace. SEMPER FI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
