My name is Brian Gleason and I am 14 years old. James Walter Edwards was a great friend of my dad's and I feel deep sorrow having known he was been killed in combat.  My brother is fighting in Iraq right now and I still don't think anyone could ever comprehend the hell that was Vietnam. James W. Edwards was killed in Quang Tri, Vietnam.  I simply hope to God  that is not where he was buried.
 May you rest in God's hands, James.  |
