THE WALL OF FACES

I have looked forward to this day since 1971 when I received my copper bracelet inscribed CWO James Larry Phipps MIA. As of June 2015 he is no longer Missing and at last "my soldier" has come home where he can finally rest in peace.

Welcome home Chief Warrant Officer Phipps.

Although we lost each of you that day (jan 9th 1968), those who served with you still remember you, in our Hearts and Mind.

Dear CWO James Larry Phipps, sir

As an American, I would like to thank you for your service and for your sacrifice made on behalf of our wonderful country. The youth of today could gain much by learning of heroes such as yourself, men and women whose courage and heart can never be questioned.

May God allow you to read this, and may He allow me to someday shake your hand when I get to Heaven to personally thank you. May he also allow my father to find you and shake your hand now to say thank you; for America, and for those who love you.

With respect, and the best salute a civilian can muster for you, Sir

Curt Carter

James has a military marker in his memory at Arlington National Cemetery.
