I’m writing to find information on a Jim Smouse for a family friend. This says that Jim went missing in action. The Jim Smouse I knew new came home. He gave me is uniform and photo album. I do not remember a story of going missing. He was a great man. I wish I knew him better. He dead of cancer in 1986. The name is somewhat unique. It about has to be him. Do you have anymore information please? Great website. Thank you for your time.
