How are you Still Serving?

My cousin James Browne went missing 11/17/1942 in China. We have been trying since 1991 to bring Jimmie home, trying through government agencies, politicians and vet groups, to no avail. Recent events are encouraging including a 400 person memorial held in China for Jim on Feb 3, 2026. A charitable organization in China is helping, actually planning to visit the wreck site. My book “The Hunt for Jimmie Browne” tells of our struggle. At 99 plus years, I still persevere even after 5 trips to China.

Why do you do it?

Family ties and respect for my 21 year old cousin
