THE WALL OF FACES

I remember Jim very well, he was stationed with my late husband at Fort Riley Kansas. My husband Sam Baker. We lived off base and Jim would visit us along with a few buddies on the weekends. Sam didn't go to Vietnam due to a medical issue. But when he heard what happened to Jim and the platoon he was heart broken. My Sam was killed here back home in Indiana in 1969.

Sergeant James Edward Boorman, Served with Company B, 2nd Battalion, 47th Infantry Regiment, 2nd Brigade, 9th Infantry Division, United States Army Vietnam.

Always remember Jim. I had him in several of my industrial arts classes at Neshaminy Senior High. I entered the Air Force in 1965 after graduating. He was a great guy.

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning,
We will remember them.

My cousin, I found where you were buried in Bensalem and visited you today and took my brother Bill. We also went to your corner; I wish we knew of the dedication. We would have been there. I will visit you often.
