My condolences to James' family. I met him in December as he was my adopted resident at Colonial. I gave him his police blanket. R.I.P. James. Thank you for your service.

Mr. Melby will always be considered a HERO for serving our country during a time when fighting for freedom was essential. You fought in what was considered the "Forgotten War" but you and your brothers in arms will never be forgotten. Thank you Sir for your bravery, courage and sacrifice. May God hold you in his loving arms. Rest in Peace.
