Jim rebuilt his life and gained a new family at Boys Town. He was helped through Father Flanagan's dream. He attended school there and with his brothers there prepared to make positive contributions in our society. He served his nation with honor, brought credit upon his brothers and gave his life to free the oppressed. Jim is loved and will not be forgotten.
