Dear James, Although I never met you, I know of you through your good friend and fellow Nam Vet and brother Denis. While searching through the data base on the Virtual Wall Denis came across the name of my beloved Larry Brent Curttright and father to my son. Denis contacted me and wanted to know if it would be all right for him to post Larry Brent Curttright's pictures and Citations on the thewall-usa.com web site. Thus through Denis I have come to know of you. You are very special to Denis and now to me. I myself served with the Medical Corps in Nam as a Surgical/Triage Nurse. Through communication with Denis I feel I do know you and I feel your loss as a brother. Rest in peace, James, and know that you are in my thoughts and prayers. Thank you for your ultimate sacrifice in service to our country. I only wish that my hands and others could have saved you and all our other brothers and sisters lost in Nam. Again you are not forgotten James, not now nor ever, Please Know This. |
