From a native Philadelphian and Marine, |
I probably knew Jim better than anyone in the 4/23, since he was one of our squad leaders in AIT at Fort Lewis, and Jim was only with our battalion for a short time. He was a real feisty young sergeant. You just couldn't find a nicer guy. He was killed at Fire Support Base Bragg by an incoming mortar. FSB Bragg was just a short distance to the southeast of The Black Virgin Mountain in Tay Ninh Province.
