THE WALL OF FACES

We were friends and classmates at West Seattle High and lived across the street during our grade school years. I remember Jim very fondly and looked up to him as a person and young man. As a fellow veteran, I thank him and his family for his service and the ultimate sacrifice he made to help keep this Country free. RIP dear friend.

Thank you for your service to our country so long ago sir. The remembrance from Constance Reynolds is touching. As long as you are remembered you will always be with us….

I came across Jim's grave as I walked to a friend's grave and I noticed he was buried next to another soldier who also died in Vietnam. I wondered what other connection they had besides Vietnam. John Feser in his previous remembrance gave me the answer, they were classmates at Holy Rosary. The other soldier was John Nokes. Very moving for me.

PFC James H Fife Jr was awarded the Bronze Star Medal for Valor for his exemplary courage under fire while serving as an Infantry Team Leader with C Co, 4th Bn, 9th Inf, 25th Inf Div.

Dear PFC James Fife,
Thank you for your service as an Infantryman. It is Labor Day, and we remember you all. It has been too long, and it's about time 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.
