Gentlemen,
Wow...I am trembling with excitement and covered in goosebumps right now!!
First of all, thank each and every one of you for your service to this country! Secondly, my mother is Carleen (Walterman) Weiler who was married to James Powell at the time he was killed. As is often the case, she received very little information after he was killed about what happened. In fact, I was doing some research a few months ago and discovered that Harold Green had to have been killed with Jim. When I told my Mom that Green's records showed that he was killed same day, time, and place as Jim she broke down crying. She had always wondered if he died alone. She also said that Jim talked about how him and Greenreen had become good friends in his letters, and about how he played the guitar. She wrote Green several times after Jim was killed, but he never responded. She always wondered why...but this, along with some other information I have found, proves why.
She had mentioned several times that she would give anything for the opportunity to speak with someone who knew Jim in Vietnam, or to get contact information for Harold Green's family. If any of you knew James (Jim) Powell, or know how to get in touch with Harold Green's family PLEASE contact me!!
Thanks again for your service, and thank you for providing my mother with some closure regarding Jim's death.
Sincerely,
Bob Weiler Jr
