THE WALL OF FACES

Even though I did not know you long before you went over, I will never forget you.
You and my cousin are gone in a blink of an eye. Way too soon, but a guess that is what wars cause. Those years were so dark, and it changed the trajectory of our
beloved country. America is not what you knew. We are not going in the right
direction. Miss you Billy, Rest in Peace my friend.

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....

Specialist Four William Joseph Amstutz Jr., Served with Company B, 1st Engineer Battalion, 1st Infantry Division, United States Army Vietnam.

DEAR SPECIALIST 4TH CLASS AMSTUTZ,
THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE AS A WATER TREATMENT SPECIALIST.
REST IN PEACE.

Dear SP4 William Joseph Amstutz Jr, 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
