A Fellow Veteran and Proud American
A Tribute to a true American Hero
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)
Rest well in Gods loving embrace brave solider. You Sir, are a True American Hero and are remembered by a grateful nation.

No man, especially a man that has sacrificed his freedom, or, his life, while protecting his fellow man's freedom, should ever be 'forgotten'~ I am glad that after all these years you have come home. Hopefully now, the empty hole left in the hearts of those you left behind will begin to heal . Today, on the aniversary of your birthday and everyday Sir, may you Rest in Peace. Thank you ~God Bless~

Gone, but Not Forgotten
Charles. I do not know you, but I feel like I do. I have had your bracelet for many years now. When I heard that they found you, and you were coming home I felt my heart drop. I felt so sad for your family and friends. I just found this website so I could say thank you for helping to protect our great nation. You paid the Ultimate price, but a price that will never be taken in vain. So as I sit here and sip my wine, I salut you a real hero. Happy Thanksgiving Captain, you will forever be in my gratitude and heart. If there is anyone out there who is related to Charles, I would love to hear from you and reminisce about the life of your loved one.
