I have been collecting some of your letters, and what a unique person you are - funny, witty, unique, talented. Caring so much for your family and the same time going back. I think I once heard you wanted to go for your guys out there. Always a hero, even as a kid. I miss you so much. Time doesn't always take care of that wound. Love you, Eachie

I would very much like to hear from anyone who knew James before or during his service.

From his sister,
