Wow!! Jimmy was my first cousin. I remember when he was killed that pictures of his body was released but my mother steadfastly prevented us from seeing the pictures. I was 13 years old and now 63 and just seeing this picture.. My last memory was of Jimmy in our kitchen and Mom imploring him to change his life and go into the military. Jimmy agreed but died within that week…
