THE WALL OF FACES

Dear WO James Pace, Thank you for your service as an Utility/Observation Helicopter Pilot. I researched you on the 51st anniversary of the star of your tour. Saying thank you isn't enough, but it is from the heart. Lent has begun, and it is the end of winter. Time passes quickly. Please watch over America, it stills needs your strength, courage and faithfulness, especially now. Rest in peace with the angels.

I remember Jim calling cadence en route various classrooms at Fort Wolters. I remember admiring him simply for who he was and the pride he displayed for being in the WOFT Program...RIP comrade...W-3 John M Walsh, Clermont, FL

Jim and I along with Jim's brother John were a small group of college boys sharing a home in Commerce, TX while attending East Texas State University in 1966-67. Always smiling, Jim was a talented athlete playing hours of hand ball. Jim cursed around campus in a Triumph TR3. He was a natural leader and he left this earth too soon for us.
