THE WALL OF FACES

Dear Cpl James Coon,
Thank you for your service as an Infantryman. It is so important for us all to acknowledge the sacrifices of those like you who answered our nation's call. Please watch over America, it stills needs your strength, courage and faithfulness. Rest in peace with the angels.

Private First Class James Thomas Coon, Served with Company D, 3rd Battalion, 12th Infantry Regiment, 4th Infantry Division.

Dear PFC James Thomas Coon, sir

As an American, I would like to thank you for your service and for your sacrifice made on behalf of our wonderful country. The youth of today could gain much by learning of heroes such as yourself, men and women whose courage and heart can never be questioned.

May God allow you to read this, and may He allow me to someday shake your hand when I get to Heaven to personally thank you. May he also allow my father to find you and shake your hand now to say thank you; for America, and for those who love you.

With respect, Sir

Curt Carter

Although we did not know you personally we have come to know you by your service to our country and your full measure of duty.
I realize the inscription of your name on the wall is inadequate I do hope that it brings some sense of pride and eases the pain of the loss your loved ones felt on the day the news come. Perhaps one day one of your relatives will read this comment and know that others cared and even though we never get over the loss of a loved one, we can work to get through and hold to the good times and let go of the bad.
God Speed

James is buried at Elmwood Cemetery in Owensboro, KY.
