20 Years Old
Long Bottom, Ohio

James served with B Company, 3/21^st, 196^th LIB, but was killed while
serving with A Company, 3/22^nd, 4^th Infantry Division. He was
transferred to the 4^th Infantry on March 18^th, and was only with them
three days until his death at LZ Gold.

This picture is one of the two Quad-50's that were at Soui Tre.
This could be the one James was manning at the time of his death, as
stated in The Bronze Star Award.  James, seeing the piece was
threatened to be overrun, maneuvered to the gun to try to keep
it out of VC hands.
