"Do not stand at my grave and weep, I am not there, I do not sleep.
I am in a thousand winds that blow, I am the softly falling snow.
I am the gentle showers of rain, I am the fields of ripening grain.
I am in the morning hush, I am in the graceful rush
Of beautiful birds in circling flight, I am the starshine of the night.
I am in the flowers that bloom, I am in a quiet room.
I am in the birds that sing, I am in each lovely thing.
Do not stand at my grave and cry, I am not there. I did not die.

Mikey rejoined the military after 9/11. Mikey made the ultimate sacrifice for his country. Rest in Peace Brother. "Always remembered.""
Umar Syed of Buffalo, NY

"I am the eldest daughter of Mike Williams, my name is Nicole I donot know if I know or have met the person responsible for this site, but I want to thank you on behalf of myself and my family. I would also like to thank everyone posting a message to this board for the kind words of support and prayers. Everyday is a struggle for me living without my father...my hero...my mentor...my financial advisor...my Best friend. But as the bible states weaping only endures for a night, and I look forward to my joy in the morning. I know he is in a much much better place. Keeping watch over his loved ones. How I wish he could have survived to see Americas first black president and to watch his grandchildren grow and mature, also to see the first male born into our immediate family Makel Leon, just one day before his birthday 9-10-08. My sister and I along with the rest of our family will always remember the good times and look to him and the creator in the bad ones...knowing they shall soon pass. Again thank everyone for their words and prayers of encouragment and God Bless all the familes going thru the same heartache and pain. And we pray for a safe return for all that are still serving."

"Big Bro,

How come I did not know about this site? Well now that I do I can write how I really feel. It has been 5 years since you died. I'll never forget the pain I felt at only 14 years old. My hero and idol was gone. You held a special place in my heart because you never treated me like a half brother. I could always count on you for anything. You always knew how to make me happy. I'll never forget the many times I spent the days at your house on the weekends. You always remembered me on the special holidays and I thank you for that. Now that you are gone, I have to step up to the plate and carry on your legacy. I love you with all my heart and miss you with all my soul. Take your well desevered rest. I know you are with the Lord. This was not a good bye, it was just a until we meet again...."

"I am honored to have served with Spc. Williams, Mikey as he was known in the 105th. Mikey was a good Christian man and lived his faith every day of his life. Here in Iraq, that can be a very hard thing to do. Although Mikey was not in my platoon, I remember when we lost our platoon brother, Sgt McMillin, and Mikey was there to comfort us. I only pray that I can be as good a man as Mikey. My deepest sympathy goes to his family. The world is a much darker, colder place without Mike Williams to brighten and warm it."

""Military Police Corps Regimental Prayer
By Chaplain Michael Yarman

Heavenly Father - We approach You today because You have called us to be a people of prayer.

We praise You because You are our Creator, our Redeemer and our Provider.

We acknowledge our great need for You as we fulfill our mission as soldiers.

We have been called to serve our nation as Military Police and we are proud of the honored heritage of the Regiment and our motto: Of the Troops and For the Troops.

Whether we are fighting an enemy, securing as area, patrolling the streets, or helping someone in distress, help us, O Lord, to always be men and women of integrity who can be counted on to do the right thing.

Give us the strength to stand for what is right and to oppose those who would do harm to our nation and the people we serve.

May we always be truthful in Word, Deed and Signature, and bring honor through our service to the memory of those in the Regiment who gave the supreme sacrifice for their country.

Guide us now, Father, by giving us wisdom and knowledge from on high, that as Military Police we will always be prepared to Assist, Protect and Defend.""
