Remembering this young hero,
with a multitude of thanks for his service to our country.
Rest well, Stephen Rolley Powell,
and know that you will NEVER BE FORGOTTEN.

There is an inscription on a gate at Arlington National Cemetery that reads

"Rest easy, sleep well, my brothers.
Know the line has held, your job is done.
Rest easy, sleep well.
Others have taken up where you fell,
the line has held. Peace, peace, and farewell..."

From the sister of a yet another fallen young hero, who made the Ultimate Sacrifice in Vietnam. KIA 1967.
