The custom of placing flowers on graves is an old one that exists in many countries. Today, almost everywhere around the globe, people have a special day to honor not only those who gave their lives in battle, but also family members and friends whom they wish to remember.

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.

You can also choose to have a virtual candle burning at all times
on your web page. We want to have candles in every state burning in memory for
our men and women in uniform.
