Cousin
John, my cousin who was 4 days younger than me, I grieve your loss to this day. Cousin Sue and I are researching our families' military history and it is much more expansive than we ever thought. But you are the only one who sacrificed all and for that our Country will be eternally grateful. From all of your family, we honor you.

Thank You
Dear Cpl John Fordham,
Thank you for your service as a Machine Gunner. It is now fall, and as the seasons pass, it is important to 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.

Remembering An American Hero
Dear CPL John La Verne Fordham, 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, and the best salute a civilian can muster for you, Sir
Curt Carter
