Paul Castner’s friend and mentor. Jim was a retired Army captain and a true American hero. Jim enlisted in the Army as a private in 1940 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Sgt. Fowler was stationed at Schofield Barrack when Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, was attacked by Japanese forces Dec. 7, 1941. He was then assigned to Ft. Benning, Ga., where he completed Officer Candidate School and was commissioned an infantry second lieutenant. He was then assigned to the 82nd Airborne Division as a platoon leader. In September 1944, 1st Lt. Fowler parachuted into Holland, where he was awarded the Combat Infantryman Badge and the Bronze Star for bravery under fire. In Dec. 1944, the 82nd Airborne Division participated in the "Battle of the Bulge." During this battle, Capt. Fowler was severely wounded, resulting in the loss of his entire left leg, for which he was awarded the Purple Heart and the 2nd Bronze Star for bravery. After 14 months of extensive medical treatment and rehabilitation, Capt. Fowler was retired from the Army for physical disability. Capt. Fowler's courage, daring and leadership in operations of historic importance reflect great credit upon himself, the 82nd Airborne Division and the Army. Rest in Peace Jim... We will Honor your Legacy and NEVER forget your acts of valor.
