THE WALL OF FACES

Sergeant James Allen Hardman, Served with the Headquarters and Headquarters Company, 2nd Battalion, 22nd Infantry Regiment, 3rd Brigade, 25th Infantry Division, United States Army Vietnam.

Thank you for your service to our country so long ago sir. While all deaths in Vietnam are tragic that you died just three days before your 22nd birthday is especially so. May you rest in eternal peace.

I can just hear the drill sgts. “ Are you a hard man Hardman ?!?!” Myself, with the last name of Michael, was told that it was a GD shame my family couldn’t afford a last name- they had to use a first”! That was about as bad as it got for me Sarge. I never saw combat. You gave all you could for your bros in the bush just 3 days shy of turning 22. May your memory be honored on this Veterans Day, & may your soul rest forever peacefully where war doesn’t exist. You deserve nothing less.

dear hero, thank you for serving for country
