THE WALL OF FACES

On the remembrance of your 72nd birthday, your sacrifice is not forgotten.

HOOAH

Sometimes I dream...you’re still here.

Jimmy you were a wonderful young man and friend. Our families were so close. So many wonderful memories growing up. I have never forgotten you and you are in my thoughts and prayers sweet angel.

Dear James,
You Have Not Been Forgotten!

The Society of the Fifth Division, U.S. Army, during its 95th Annual Reunion in Pittsburgh, PA (Sept 10-14, 2015) , held a Reading of the Names Ceremony to honor the 514 Soldiers from the 5th Division that were Killed in Action during the War in Vietnam. Your Name Was Read Aloud Among Those Soldiers. You Have Not Been Forgotten! Rest in Peace, Dear Brother.
