This is February 09, 2021, fifty years ago you lost your life in defense of other.

Dear CWO James Collins,
Thank you for your service as an Utility/Observation Helicopter Pilot. Today is the last day of 2017, Happy New Year, and it is the 7th Day of Christmas. It is so 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 strength, courage and faithfulness. Rest in peace with the angels.

Dear Jim, just wanted to let you know that Jimmy came to see you, He always wanted to visit your grave but until recently we couldn't find you. I wish I would have had you buried down here near your son but I was young and your mom pleaded with me to let you go near her. I thought I was doing the right thing but for yrs. Jimmy always had that longing to just be near you. It really did him good to visit you. I wished for yrs. that your parents would want to be in his life but I've forgiven them and for the most part he has too I think. I know one day we will see you again and until then sweet dreams my dear. I love you, Susan
