The men and women of our military services are America’s
security blanket.
This poem is a good reminder to honor those who have fallen,
thank those who have served and praise and support those who are
serving today.

“Do not stand on my grave and weep,
I am not there. I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow:
I am the diamond glints of snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn’s rain.
When you waken in the morning’s hush,
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the star that shines at night.
Do not stand on my grave and cry.
I am not there: I did not die.”
