THE WALL OF FACES

Your sacrifice is not forgotten.

HOOAH

A butterfly lights beside us like a sunbeam
And for a brief moment its glory
and beauty belong to our world
But then it flies again
And though we wish it could have stayed...
We feel lucky to have seen it.

All my life I’ve seen your handsome photos and stories of you being the tease older brother. I have always admired the man in the photo staring back at me, wishing I could meet you. Your life is honored by so many and your great sacrifice is held in your family’s hearts through the generations that have and will come. You are a true hero. Thank you for your ultimate sacrifice Uncle Jim. I love you.

Dear Cpl. James Piva, Thank you for your service as an Infantryman. Saying thank you isn't enough, but it is from the heart. Memorial Day is next week when the nation remembers all our lost. Time passes quickly. Please watch over America, it stills needs your strength, courage and faithfulness, especially now. Rest in peace with the angels.

Corporal James Edward Piva, Served with Company D, 3rd Battalion, 22nd Infantry Regiment, 25th Infantry Division.
