THE WALL OF FACES

Dear PFC James Phillip Burns, sir.

This year, as every year, our American Flag looks majestic as it snaps to attention in the breeze, as if to return the salute of all those who have served and who are serving. Two Red, White, and Blue Memorial Day wreats, one to the left and one to the right, were there during the Memorial Day holiday we observed two weeks ago this past Monday.

Remembering you, those you served with who didn't make it home from the Vietnam War, and all who died defending this country.

With respect, sir.

Hi Jimmy, As you know we toast you every Memorial Day and we think of you often throughout the days every year since 1967. You have been an inspiration to our lives and we thank you for being our good friend. Love always, Ron & Donna (Dolan) Lasko

I was at the Vietnam Memorial this past weekend and observed your name on the wall. I am also a James P Burns. Seeing your name brought tears to my eyes. Would love to meet your family.

Dear PFC James Burns,
Thank you for your service as an Infantryman with the 1st Cavalry. Poughkeepsie is where we moved to raise our kids. It is a good community, I wish you were still a part of it. sigh. It is important for us all to acknowledge the sacrifices of those like you who answered our nation's call. Please watch over America, it stills needs your courage and faithfulness. Rest in peace with the angels.

Private First Class James Phillip Burns, Served with Company B, 2nd Battalion, 8th Cavalry Regiment, 1st Cavalry Division.
