  MESSAGES FROM THE VVMF: Jul 19, 2013  
   

Do not stand at my grave and weep
Remembrance posted by Bob Ross
 
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.

Mary Frye – 1932
Thank you LTJG Thomas Gavin Walster

I’ve never met you but yet I aspire to be like you. You have displayed so much courage
and perseverance by being apart of our nations defense. Your actions won’t be forgotten.
