Thank you, James, for your extraordinary Valor on the airstrip at Song Be.

Where others hesitated, you, under fire and with total disregard for your own personal safety, gave aid to and removed the wounded from a certain death situation. Your action was above and beyond the call of duty.

Thank you for the lives you saved and your inspiration.

Lt. Dan Grundman

Thank you, for this wonderful tribute
to my brother Jim Lahti.

I had never seen that picture before,
all I remember of his hair is the army
"buzz cuts"!

I cannot thank you enough for remembering
my brother in this way.

I feel better knowing Jim had such
a good friend with him in Viet Nam.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for
your service to our great country, and please know
that I will never forget your sacrifices.

All of you, and our current military
members, define the word "hero" - thank you.

Love,
Kris (Lahti) Robinson

Do not stand at my grave and weep,
I am not there, I do not sleep.

I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond glints in snow,
I am the sunlight and ripened grain.
I am the gentle Autumn rain.
When you awake in the morning hush,
I am the swift upflinging rush
of quiet birds in circling flight.
I am the soft star shine at night.

Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there, I did not die.

by Mary Frye (1932) and Wilbur Skeels (1996)

I never got to meet my Uncle Jim but my mom told me a lot of good things about him. Today I wish I knew him and if anyone knew him I would really like it if you would email me and let me know. Thank you very much.
