THE WALL OF FACES

Many years ago, I acquired a wristlet of a MIA soldier, James L. Paul. As I remember, these wristlets were made to honor those MIAs and in hope that one day their whereabouts are revealed. Brother, you are not forgotten.

Dear Warrant Officer Paul ~ You Are Not Forgotten!
This is the 3rd year, on the anniversary of your passing, that I ran a mile with you in my thoughts and prayers. Rest in Peace, Dear Brother.

Each year since September 2015, at the annual 5th Division Army reunion, members of the Society of the Fifth Division, U.S Army remember the 514 soldiers from the 1st Brigade, 5th Division, who were Killed in Action in Vietnam. You are among the soldiers remembered. You Are Not Forgotten!

Thank you for your service to our country so long ago sir. It remains my fervent hope you will be returned home after the passage of so many years.

I posted this many years ago but was reminded of Jim yet again today when I made a contribution in his memory to the Wounded Warriors organization.

Jim and I went through basic together at Ft Polk. He was a little overweight at the start so the Drill Sgt made him a "road guard" which meant extra running. He never complained. I think of you often Jim.

We were in the same class in flight school but it was over 300 strong and divided into almost a dozen flights so we didn't see much of each other but I remember him very clearly. Rest well, buddy.
