Don, I collect military memorabilia and I recently purchased a helmet liner dated 1965 with a sweatband dated 1964. I noticed written in pen, on the sweatband: Jones, James B. with the numbers 25176013 below and HHB 151 and two letters that are hard to make out, but I think they're either AF or AP. I came across your story about J.B. Jones and it brought tears to my eyes as I read it. I was a little boy during the Vietnam War and I remember it very well. I remember the images on TV and the hippies that protested. I could never understand that. I remember my aunt crying when she learned a young man she dated had been shot near the heart. He survived. I have nothing but admiration and respect for those of you who served, fought, and died over there. I'm feeling emotional as I'm writing you now. I'm an ex-Navy man and currently a sergeant with a state Highway Patrol. I was hoping you might know what the numbers and letters mean from the liner I have and if it did indeed once belong to your friend J.B. Any help you can give me would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time and May God Bless You.

Respectfully,
Sgt. Larry Mower
