I became friends with James just before graduation. Talk about a friend who would bolster your ego, support your persona, constantly say nice and positive things, and give you whatever he had...it was James. He was also this guy who would always be saying these things and supporting you behind your back.
I am sure without a doubt, that James was a hero-type in Vietnam and protected his "brothers" back. A higher, more respectful tribute I could not make.
