Additional Comments:
Information from www.wikipedia.com
Ormoc City (or City of Ormoc), in the Province of Leyte in the region of 
Eastern Visayas of the Philippines.

I did not find a tombstone for James or his mother, Rosa, in the Breckinridge 
County Cemeteries, volume one, published in 1991.  The death notice did not 
say whether James's remains was sent home, or he was buried on the base.
