The Crepe Myrtle tree was planted next to Harold's Grave Site some thirty years ago and in the words of  Harold's father Hal :

( The Crepe Myrtle tree has really grown in the last thirty years. Mighty pretty when blooming.)

A beautiful resting place for a beautiful person like Harold C. Dailey II

Fort Sam Houston National Cemetery

 

Eulogy for a Veteran

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.
