THE WALL OF FACES

Say not in grief he is no more, but live in thankfulness that he was.

Never forgotten.

HOOAH

Time passes quickly. Please watch over America, it stills needs your strength, courage and faithfulness, especially now. Rest in peace with the angels.

My name is Ray Alvarado, I was in James's helicopter class at Ft Rucker Alabama. For all these years i have wanted to share James's caring and thoughtfulness with people who did not know him. Being from Az. during the Thanksgiving Holiday, James invited me to his home in Mississippi. I was born in April 1951 one month older than James, being very young and never being out of the state of Az. I didn't not realize the kindness which James showed me. He did not want me to be alone during the Thanksgiving Holiday. This act of kindness throughout the years has always been a example of how I should behave towards my fellow man. I remember Rawson with great respect and love. My brother in arms. The physical world is less of a place with is absence. I know James Rawson was a positive role model for me. He was an intelligent and (Buena gente) good person. He finished top in our class, at Ft. Rucker, Alabama. Thank for reading this remembrance of a great American.
