James Bunn remembered by his fellow soldiers
The black and white military picture of James Bunn came from the book MY GIFT TO YOU, which includes the stories and pictures of American soldiers who died in Vietnam while serving with the 3rd Battalion, 506th Infantry (the Currahees), 101st Airborne Division. The pictures were allowed for use for the Faces Never Forgotten project by the author and fellow Currahee soldier Jerald "Jerry" Berry.

Remembering An American Hero
Dear SFC James Albert Bunn, 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, and the best salute a civilian can muster for you, Sir
Curt Carter

My Platoon Sergeant James Albert Bunn
On February 2, 1968 the second platoon, Company A, 3rd Battalion (Airborne), 506th Infantry was in several firefights and these firefights continued almost without interruption over into the next day. During those two days we suffered 9 casualties out of about 30 men engaged.
A little before noon we stopped next to a blue house. I sent a fire team to check the house and they discovered the enemy. One man was wounded and trapped on the porch of the house. I ordered Jim to take a squad and see if he could get into the back of the house so that we could rescue the man on the porch. Jim and the squad maneuvered around to the back; rather than order another man Jim tried to get into the house himself. He was killed. He was a courageous man, a good soldier and I am proud to say my friend. i literally think about him every day. Airborne.
