THE WALL OF FACES

Jim, just found this site 54 years late. Never forget my fellow sgt. in Charlie co. Also will never forget June 18th. We had a 50th reunion in 2020 a year late cause of the covid.Your name, Barry Grulke, Deiter Willert, Terry Ham, and Sam Holder were remembered. You all will be remembered by us all. So wish all could have turned out differently. I also left out George Wytko and Joe Carter. Was so great to see all Rest in pease my friend.

Thank you for your service to our country so long ago sir. The remembrance from your neighbor Brenda Malone is poignant and attests to the anguish experienced by so many who lost loved ones in this war. May you rest in eternal peace.

Dear Sgt James Cowan,
I hope your photo is put here because this is a wall of faces is missing yours. 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.

My family lived up the street from the Cowan family. My sister and I were close friends of Jimmy's sisters, Pat and Diane. Jimmy was really handsome and as nice as a "southern" boy could be. His Mom and Dad took his death really hard and we all were shocked to have lost one of our own. His death drove the reality of the War straight through our hearts. My brother enlisted and through the grace of God returned home to us.

Dear SGT James Alton Cowan Jr, 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
