THE WALL OF FACES

Corporal James Thomas Gordon, Served with Company C, 1st Battalion, 5th Marine Regiment, 1st Marine Division, Third Marine Amphibious Force.

Thank you for your service to our country so long ago sir. The remembrances from your sisters and cousins are moving and reflect their admiration and respect for you. As long as you are remembered you will always be with us….

Jim you will always be remembered as a life long classmate starting in first grade and ending with graduation from St. Cecilia High School. Although I served after you ,we
did serve our country. I recently visited your grave site at Mt. Carmel Cemetery with John Solga ,another life long Saints guy, and left in a state of grief!!! Rest In Peace!!! Bob Sullivan
