Remembering An American Hero

Dear PFC James Francis Brooks Jr, 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

For PFC James Francis BROOKS, JR, USA...another of McKeesport's bravest of heroes, who gave his all!

He loved us so.


Every day, in a hundred ways, he told us so.


In honesty, in affection, he told us so.


He loved us so.


Every day, in a hundred ways, he showed us so.


With loyalty and bravery, he showed us so.


He was our defender, and he kept us free!


He took an oath to guard us, and fought for liberty!


He loved us so, and we should know.


For we loved him so.


PFC Brooks, you had given all that morrtality can give, in the defense of our great country! You fought for the right, without question or pause! You had been there and done that in Vietnam! In your youth and strength...your love and loyalty...you had given all to defend liberty everywhere! I honestly and strongly believe that Avonmore's own Jill Corey, whom I greatly admire as one of my three top favorite songbirsds of all time, the other two being Julie Andrews, England's top musical queen, and Dusty Springfield, another thrush from England who passed on some years ago, would be very proud of your service to America, and the sacrifices you made to keep us free! Well done, Soldier! Be thou at peace. ARMY STRONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

To Put A Face With A Name

James, to honor your memory and the sacrifice you made for our country I want to make sure your photo will be displayed on your birthday each and every year when the Education Center is completed, so it is with great pride and humility that I post your photo that was provided to me with several others from the McKeesport area by Donn Nemchick, a friend who truly remembers, along with a remembrance. You are not forgotten and remain in the hearts of many all these years later. You have been designated to be one of God's special angels, along with the love of my life, who also sacrificed his life during this war. God bless you, James, for being who you were and for all you did--we live in freedom to this day thanks to heroes like you.
