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.

On 06 Feb 1968 the 1st Tank Battalion was called upon to provide tank support to a number of US and ARVN units in the Danang area and lost eight men while doing so. Five tankers were killed in a single engagement when a tank section sent to support an ARVN detachment guarding the Tuy Loan bridge was greeted with a hail of anti-tank rockets:
