Remembering John
He was the first person I knew who died in the war and until I found this site I didn't realize he was a Navy corpsman assigned to the Marines. My father did the same in WW II.
Someone uploaded a picture of another classmate on this site, John A. Burden, apparently by mistake. I've added another picture of John C. from the senior yearbook showing him lettering in baseball.
i visited the wall soon after it opened and found John's name. it is one of the most moving war memorials ever built.
