Great effort Redrock. Your family will touch many people with their thoughtful efforts. Thank you very much.
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 mornings 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.

THE GUARDIANS
GOD LOOKED AROUND HIS BARRACKS;
AND SAW SOME EMPTY SPACES;
HE LOOKED DOWN ON 'OLE HAMBURGER HILL;
AND SAW AIRBORNES TIRED FACES.
HE PUT HIS ARMS AROUND THEM;
AND TOOK THEM IN HIS CARE;
GOD SMILED AND SAID,
"THIS PLATOON HAS DONE ENOUGH"
YOU SEE HE WANTED THEM "UP THERE"
I CRIED AND CRIED,
WHEN I HEARD THEY HAD GONE;
BUT THEY DID NOT GO ALONE;
FOR MOST OF ME WENT WITH THEM,
THE DAY 1ST PLATOON WENT HOME.
SO BEWARE AMERICAN ENEMYS;
YOU ARE DOOMED WHEREEVER YOU GO;
WE GOT AIRBORNE GUARDING HEAVENS GATES,
THE 1ST OF BRAVO-

Will pledge to do as many e-mails as I can. My prayers are with my son who is in boot camp -- US Army. Looking forward to seeing him in July.
Pinging fellow Daily Dosers....apologies if you have already been "pinged".
I pledge 100 emails from myself today and challenge all NC Freepers who may read this to meet that challenge of 100 by yourselves or with other NC Freepers. (CD - can you pass that NC Challenge along?)
Let's roll!
