I served with James in the 518th Ag in Cam Rahn Bay. He was a super nice person. A very quiet and pleasant man. I remember the day well, I didn't know he was medivacted to Japan, but I do remember being informed of his passing. I have thought of him often and was glad to have served with him. I just happened to be surfing the internet and looked up the 518 AG and found him. It brought tears to my eyes, and joy to my heart at the same time. RIP James, your not forgotten. SP5 Hnatiw
