"I Remember Jim" - Jimmy and I were classmates; Beaver Falls High School, Class of '66. Jimmy lived with his aunt and uncle. I remember going over there to hang out every once in a while. He was an all around good kid. He was an MP in the army as I recall. We both went into the service around the same time. It's a shame ANYONE has to die in a war; but I know Jim loved his country and is a hero.
