Family, James E. Byrd Jr.

James E. Byrd Jr. was my uncle. My mother is his sister. We have recently been talking about family and our great country. I have learned a little about my uncle (as she was very young when he passed) and feel that his light was extinguished to soon. I wish I could have met him. Stay safe and healthy to all. Thank you all for your service..
