I lost my
only brother
Jesse L. Harris.
Jesse served from Schofield Barracks, Hawaii 1963-65 with the "Shotgun" 1st
Provisional Machine Gun Platoon. Jesse mentioned in his letter dated Nov. 3,
1964 about being 30 miles from Saigon when with the 118th AVNCO. (Ben Hoa).
In January 1965 he was with the 1st Bat. 14th Inf. Jesse then re-inlisted
and on Jan. 1966 was shipped out with the 14th Inf. 25th Inf. Div. He
was KIA in Nov. 1966. (wished he would have stayed with the Shotgun
Div.) I also did not notice Jesse's name on your memorial page. There is also a
change needed to be made for the "traveling wall" . Jesse's date of birth is
incorrect. It should read June 13, 1942 (not 1-13-42) His ID # is 19650582. If
you could forward me a web or phone # to have this changed in the system I would
appreciate it.
Sincerely and keep up the good work...looking forward to connect with someone
who may have some info on my brother, hugs, little sis....Anna

Jesse, I miss you so much.
Jesse, I visit your beautiful resting place at the Punchbowl in Honolulu quite
often. I feel so close to you there. One year when I was placing a lei shaped
into a heart I felt this tear from the sky. I looked up and there was only one
little cloud right above us, thank you. I know it was not a tear of sadness or
pain, but a tear of gladness and joy that we were together again. One day sweet
Jesse we will be joking and laughing together again. Save me a place by your
side and please keep being my guardian angel and please keep watch over my son
too. I wish you could be here to be "Big Uncle" to him and his behavior, can you
help him from above? Our mom loves you very much Jesse but I'm afraid she died
the day you did. Your love will always be in our hearts.someday we will be
together again, I love you.lil sis, Anna
