Julie, First I want to thank you and Randy for all the help you have been to Miyuki. It is a relief to me to have family nearby that she can rely on. You guys have been so good in opening up your house to us and I admire the way you take care of Dad and keep the Family going. I regret that our Family is not as close as it could be since Mom passed on.
I am sure I'll be fine and I don't plan on getting killed but you never know so just in case I don't come back I have just a few things I need to pass on so here goes.
First, please make sure Miyuki is assisted with anything she needs. The Marine Corps will take care of most of the arrangements. The point of contact is PWST (Peacetime Wartime Support Team) Officer Captain Daugherty at the Inspector/Instructor Staff at the Marine Corps Reserve Center at Fort Douglas. Also, you can contact Major Meyers or 1st Sgt. Byrd. Please be there with Miyuki to help her with any questions. They will explain all her benefits. She and the kids will get Social Security, my Servicemen's Group Life Insurance, a death gratuity, and assistance in burial. Make sure she gets to take advantage of all that she's entitled to. I hopefully will be able to get more info on all the benefits and I will mail it to you.
I wish to be placed in the Roy cemetery near Mom and Dad. The military will help defray a lot of the cost of burial except the plot I believe. I would like full Military honors, which the Marine Corps should provide, but I would like my good friends on the Salt Lake Police Dept SWAT Team to be involved also.... The things I would like at the service is that "God Be With You Til We Meet Again" be played as well as "Hymn to the Fallen" from Saving Private Ryan by John Williams. I would also like the Cawley Sisters to sing "I Need Thee Every Hour." I would also like the poem "If" by Rudyard Kipling read for Little Cecil and Keiko for me. And maybe you could find someone to say a kind word or two about me.
I'm sure that Miyuki will at some point move back to Japan but I would hope that the Family will not lose contact with Cecil, Keiko, and Miyuki. Please write and inquire after them from time to time.
Well, that's about it. I hope it won't be too much trouble and I know I can count on you. Thanks for all you do.
Love, Your Brother Jim
To His Son, Cecil Age 8
Just a quick note preface before I start in earnest. When I wrote this you were 8, still a little boy. In 2002, I was called to active duty …
