He was my Uncle: In memory of Uncle James. I wish I had gotten to know him better. Nancy Garner, 1115 E 12th St, Trenton, MO 64683.
Memories: We were members of the same Unit. Nearing the day of your death brings memories of a time long ago. We had no time to get to know each other personally but it is with sadness that I recall that hot afternoon so long ago. I am sure you would have made a good friend for all of us had a common goal and that was to make it back home alive. God took your life in a horrid manner and for that we can be thankful. Some gave some and some gave all. The price of being free carries a huge price for some families to have to endure. Rest peacefully in gods care my brother for we shall meet again.
