1LT James Leonard Knobles
4/42 Artillery 1 BDE 4 INF Div
(attached to HHC 1/22 Infantry)
KIA 09/11/70
Soldier, Soldier who has gone to fight in distant wars,
Till even the sound of the word home is only an echo in your mind -
Far, far away to you who did not return to loving arms and familiar faces,
from dawn to dusk on this day Taps remembers your name
on lips salted by tears of those still seeing your smile and your last wave.
Sleep well in memory's love.
Yours is this day that holds you dear in the Nation's heart.
Your shadow,
always there,
reflected between the Stars and Stripes.
Used by gracious permission of Peggie Knobles
