THE WALL OF FACES

Lance Corporal James Thomas Williams, Served with Company D, 1st Battalion, 9th Marine Regiment, 3rd Marine Division, Third Marine Amphibious Force.

I was 5 when you passed. I remember you were fun. Then remember how sad our family was. I would like to know more about your service. Is there anyone that can tell me about his service or final mission? Love you Uncle Jimmy

50+ years and I don't think a day has gone that I haven't thought of you.

Semper Fidelis, Marine.

Dear LCPL James Thomas Williams, sir

As an American, I would like to thank you for your service and for your sacrifice 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. May he also allow my father to find you and shake your hand now to say thank you; for America, and for those who love you.

With respect, Sir

Curt Carter
