THE WALL OF FACES

"Bird Dog" Aviator James Kummings lost in the Mekong Delta 4 Jun 69.

"If you are able, save for them a place inside of you and save one backward glance when you are leaving for the places they can no longer go.

Be not ashamed to say you loved them, though you may or may not have always. Take what they have taught you with their dying and keep it with your own.

And in that time when men decide and feel safe to call the war insane, take one moment to embrace those gentle heroes you left behind."

Major Michael O'Donnell
KIA March 24, 1970

Jim: I think these words say it all.
I hope you are at peace.
I finally feel I am, after visiting you this spring.
God be with you.
Love,
Jane

Remember the first day of Kindergarten?
Remember School Patrol?
Remember the last conversation we had that day at Purdue?
That was the last time I saw you.
I remember thinking "He'll never change."

You never did.
Godspeed Jimmy!
