When I'm Gone

When I come to the end of my journey
And I travel my last weary mile,
Just forget if you can, that I ever frowned
And remember only the smile.

Forget unkind words I have spoken;
Remember some good I have done.
Forget that I ever had heartache
And remember I've had loads of fun.

Forget that I've stumbled and blundered
And sometimes fell by the way.
Remember I have fought some hard battles
And won, ere the close of the day.

Then forget to grieve for my going,
I would not have you sad for a day,
But in summer just gather some flowers
And remember the place where I lay,

And come in the shade of evening
When the sun paints the sky in the west
Stand for a few moments beside me
And remember only my best.

- Mrs. Lyman Hancock

Memories Op. Knox I was on with "India" 3/7... Climbed to top of a mountain looking for an airplane crash and 6 personnel on board. We did find it and there were no one alive. Bodies were evact. I found this article above and I believe it's the same airplane. If not I apologize. Regardless these men died for America's men & women.
