THE WALL OF FACES

As Christmas comes Lt Burns is even on my mind. I wish there had been something more I could have done to help him.

I think of 1LT Burns very often. I and another soldier were running back and forth from the tracks and guns with fire extinguishers for the Lt and 1SG Lambert who were trying to control the sappers fire on the ammo pad. After the first 4-5 trips they told us to starte meeting them half way because the fire had gotten too intense and they didn’t want us to get hurt. The ammo blew up after my 2d halfway trip and I never saw them again. I was knocked down by the explosion, but was able to get up and away without injury. 1LT Burns and 1SG Lambert were brave soldiers

The day we lost LT Burns stays in my thoughts. In a couple of days it will be 54 years since that day but it feel like it just happened.

Thank you for your service to our country so long ago sir. The remembrances from family members are especially poignant and attest to their love and respect for you. As long as you are remembered you will always be with us...

Jim was my father. I just wanted to thank you for the kind words. He meant a lot to all of us. Thank you for your kind words. Brandon Burns 928 Milwaukee Ave, Deer Lodge Mt 59722
