I visited Jim's gravesite at Arlington this weekend and later watched the guard change and taps play at a wreath laying ceremony at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. It was a humbling, proud, and touching moment all at the same time and I think my husband and kids were very surprised to see tears running down my face - as was I. I was a year behind Jim on the swim team and after getting to know him, I am quite sure the West Point grey flowed through his veins. He was so proud of the academy and so loyal to his friends. I hadn't thought of him in years till I saw him on this website a little year ago and vowed I would visit him when I went to Arlington. To Jim's family - I know you must be proud of your hero. We thank you so much for your sacrifice. Sincerely, Michelle Beasley USMA Class of '90 |
