THE WALL OF FACES

We never met but I keep your information from www.virtualwall.org posted in my home. I view it daily. I truly appreciate and admire what you and all Vietnam vets did for our country. I will never forget your sacrifice and have taught my children to do the same.

It is said a man hasn't died as long as he is remembered. This prayer is a way for families, friends and fellow veterans to remember our fallen brothers and sisters. 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 hush, I am the swift, uplifting rush of quiet birds in circled flight, I am the stars that shine at night. Do not stand at my grave and cry, I am not there, I did not die

Carl is buried at Golden Gate Nat Cem.

Thank you for giving the Ultimate sacrifice for your country, it was a brave and heroic act that will not be forgotten and was not in vain. thank you for your sacrifice

Although we never met personally, I want to thank you Carl Edward Abner, for your courageous and valiant service, faithful contribution, and most holy sacrifice given to this great country of ours!

Your Spirit is alive--and strong, therefore Marine, you shall never be forgotten, nor has your death been in vain!

Again, thank you LCPL Abner, for a job well done!
