Jim's name is on the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Virtual Wall, Panel 35E, Line 27, in Washington, D.C., and the Massachusetts Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Worcester.
Jim and David's names are inscribed on the base of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Clock Tower at Marina Bay in Quincy, and on the Memorial in Mount Wollaston Cemetery.
The Vietnam Veterans Memorial is a national monument in Washington, D.C. honoring members of the U.S. armed forces who fought in the Vietnam War, service members who died in service in Vietnam/South East Asia, and those service members who were unaccounted for (Missing In Action) during the War.
The Vietnam Veterans Memorial stands as a symbol of America's honor and recognition of the men and women who served and sacrificed their lives in the Vietnam War. Inscribed on the black granite walls are the names of more than 58,000 men and women who gave their lives or remain missing. Yet the Memorial itself is dedicated to honor the courage, sacrifice and devotion to duty and country of all who answered the call to serve during the longest war in U. S. history.
The Vietnam Veterans Memorial Clock Tower at Marina Bay was dedicated in 1987. The Clock Tower is an 85 foot high structure of brick and granite with a gold leaf cupola and a working clock. The base of the tower is 16 feet by 16 feet and is dedicated to the memory of Quincy men who died from wounds suffered during the war in Vietnam. Their names are inscribed in granite at the base of the tower.
