JAMES MILES BRANDON JR was born on February 1, 1946 and joined the Armed Forces while in NEWPORT NEWS, VA.

He served as a 11H10 in the Army.
In 1 year of service, he attained the rank
of PFC/E3.

On March 17, 1967, at the age of 21,
JAMES MILES BRANDON JR perished

in South Vietnam, Binh Duong.

It has been 37 years since I last saw Jimmy, but his memory still lingers on and probably always will, until we meet again. Jimmy and his family were always good friends during our years of growing up in Newport News. From Pee Wee football to high school sports, Jimmy was an outstanding athlete and always had a great attitude and outlook.

Here on this Memorial Day of 2002, I post my gratitude for having known Jimmy and want to express my appreciation for having him as a friend.

There are many people that give up everything for what they believe in and he made the ultimate sacrifice. He gave up everything that he ever had and I am very grateful for it. So I would just like to say thank you for all you did and there are many good lasting results because of it. God Bless You. Thank you, Brooke Porzelius

Automobile Accident

NN WOMAN KILLED IN ACCIDENT

Daily Press (Newport News, VA) - August 12, 1990

A 43-year-old Newport News woman died Saturday evening when her car struck a utility pole on Huntington Avenue near 63rd Street, said Police Sgt. Stan Morgan.

Gertrude A. Hawk, of James River Lane in the Beverly Hills subdivision, was driving a 1983 Ford Escort south on Huntington Avenue when she lost control of the car, Morgan said.

He said a preliminary investigation into the crash showed that the evening's thunderstorm was a contributing factor.

The car hit the curb, flipped on its left side, and slid until it struck a utility pole and its roof collapsed, Morgan said.

Hawk was pronounced dead at the scene at about 5:45 p.m., he said.

There were no other passengers in the car, he said.

The cause of the wreck had not been determined.

GERTRUDE A. HAWK

NEWPORT NEWS - Gertrude Alice "Trudy" Hawk, 43, died Saturday, Aug. 11.

Survivors include her father, Wilson S. Hawk Sr. of Newport News; her mother, Gertrude N. Hawk of Newport News; and one brother, Dr. Wilson S. Hawk Jr. of Newport News.

A graveside service will be conducted at 11 a.m. Tuesday in Peninsula Memorial Park by the Rev. Richard Tison.

The family will receive friends from 7 to 8 tonight in Peninsula Funeral Home.

"How many friends I loved are gone!
Death delicately takes the best:
O Death, be careful of the rest!
I cannot spare another one."

Ein deutsches Requiem (A German Requiem)

- Johannes Brahms, 1865-8
(7 May 1833 - 3 Apr 1897)

http://www.johannesbrahms.org/

III. Herr, lehre doch mich

Herr, lehre doch mich,
daß ein Ende mit mir haben muß.
und mein Leben ein Ziel hat,
und ich davon muß.
Siehe, meine Tage sind
einer Hand breit vor Dir,
und mein Leben ist wie nichts vor Dir.

Ach wie gar nichts sind alle Menschen,
die doch so sicher leben.
Sie gehen daher wie ein Schemen
und machen ihnen viel vergebliche Unruhe;
sie sammeln und wissen nicht,
wer es kriegen wird.
Nun Herr, wes soll ich mich trösten?

Ich hoffe auf Dich.

(Psalm 39, 5-8)

Der Gerechten Seelen sind in Gottes Hand
und keine Qual rühret sie an.

(Weisheit Salomos 3, 1)

III. Lord, make me to know mine end

Lord, make me to know mine end,
and the measure of my days,
what it is:
that I may know how frail I am.
Behold, thou hast made my days
as an handbreadth;
and mine age is as nothing before thee....

Surely every man walketh
in a vain shew:
surely they are disquieted in vain:
he heapeth up riches,
and knoweth not
who shall gather them.
And now, Lord, what wait I for?

my hope is in thee.

(Psalm 39:4-7)

But the souls of the righteous are in the hand of God,
and there shall no torment touch them.

(Wisdom of Solomon 3:1)
