Grandpa

First off, I would like to thank you for your service grandpa. A couple of years ago, the Wall was in my home town Windsor, Missouri. Seeing your name on the wall made me proud! I don't know any family from my Dad's side of the family. I would like to make a trip to California, to meet any family members of James. I would like to learn more about my grandpa. THANKS!
