POSTED BY: MELVINA MOSS RUSHNOCK. YOU WERE MY BROTHER. You and your brother Charles, lived with us about ten years. I loved you then and love you now. So sorry for the hurts of yesterday and that you are in heaven and I am left behind. I always will cherish the letter you wrote to OUR parents a week before that bullet claimed you. I love you beautiful blonde Jim, I'll see you again soon. Though we were not blood, you were my brother! I loved your sweet demeanor and envied you and your brother (Charles) closeness. It was I who felt alienated. I still have the letter you sent to "our" parents before Jesus called you home. I've missed all of these years we could and should have been in each others lives. I know that though our separation was sad, seeing each other again in Heaven will be joyous.
POSTED BY: T. ORR, BRAVERY AND HONOR. Although I never got to meet you,I have heard your name spoken and prayers offered in your name while growing up. I am humbled, salute, and respect you, and all of your brothers in arms who have fought for this country. May you rest in peace and god bless.

ALLEN D. CHANEY, I was assigned, to the 2nd, platoon, Co., A, 1st, Bn., 5th, Inf., 25th, Inf., Div. and SSG., Bostock was the third squad leader. I knew him in that capacity. It seemed as though his squad had a tracked vehicle and lead our company as the company "broke brush," on our daily missions. I will remember him always as a very good NCO, and as one to whom I looked up to. I was present in the platoon leaders tracked vehicle working as the RTO, when SSG., Bostock was killed. 803 South Avenue H St, Clifton, Texas, 76634. I think of you, often. Thursday, December 09, 1999.
