THE WALL OF FACES

Capt. Shotwell was my CO at Ft. Bragg as members of the 82nd. Abn. He was one of the very finest men I've ever known. It is often said the good die young and so true in his case. If any of his relatives would like to hear a few stories I will leave my email. RIP Capt. Shotwell, your former company driver-- James Daniel

CPT James Hunter Shotwell was an alumnus of the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, NY. He was one of 335 men from West Point who died or are MIA in Southeast Asia/Indochina during the period October, 1957 – September, 1972. “Well done; Be thou at peace.”

Hunter was my grandfather. I never met him, as I am the daughter of is second son, David, who was born after Hunter's death. I will forever admire Hunter and the actions he took to stand for what he believed in. What a hero.

Dear Captain James Hunter Shotwell, sir

As an American, I would like to thank you for your service and for the ultimate sacrifice that you 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. And please know that men and women like you have stepped forward to defend our country yet again, showing the same love for country and their fellow Americans that you did- you would be proud.

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

Curt Carter
