To Mary wallis Balin, thank you for your reply to me. My uncle, jim coen, I am sure worked diligently saving lives, comforting many etc. He was one of the troops medics and graduated or attended fordam university. He was going to become a priest. He was a very holy man. His pastor at Holy Cross Church on w 42nd st. NY city, was the famous fr. duffy of world war one, jim was 17 when fr. duffy died and fr duffy gave him his gold watch for his education. Jim would of turned 100 this month. My mom was suspicious, she worked in the pentagon, and finally found someone to spill out the truth. So I knew all my life about the leopoldville and my ritual from childhood was always to pray Christmas eve for all who died on this ship. Religiously I put this as high priority EVERY Christmas eve since I was about age ten. Sometimes had dreams of all thanking me. This year, 2015, will be no exception
I have an interesting story about a six year boy in California, whittier whose uncle was on the Leopoldville. Some months ago I spoke with a priest about the Leopoldville, saying no doubt u ever of the Leopoldville, And he replied he could top what I said. Then he told me of his friend who on Christmas eve was gathered with friends/family for a huge Christmas eve party, 1944. He was age six. And at one point, he said STOP. We cannot celebrate, my uncle is drowning!!!!!! Maybe they thought the kid was crazy. But his heart spoke truth. That hour near france in the cold English channel his UNCLE was drowning.
Diane McCrea, I wish to make known specifically the woman from MAINE who is telling the USA of the urgency of the bill that must not get approved on dec 2. It will be a sad day for all who gave their lives for AMERICA , and or, have a relative that made the ultimate sacrifice. She is: CHARLOTTE THOMSON ISERBYT Former senior policy advisor for the US dept of Education and many other qualifications…..Indeed those related to military who shed their blood have a right to speak up for AMERICA’s FREEDOM NOW This also ISERBYT has posted: One Minute to MIDNITE abc’s of dumbing down…and posted today nov 27, Open Letter to Senator Mike Lee, Utah Indeed the near 800 troops of the leopoldville must now be seen to have died in vain. Let children be not common cored, amen I look here at photo of pvt james p coen, my uncle, He was a medic on the leopoldville so I imagine he gave up all opportunities to save himself, but rather to the end help and console others. His parents from Sligo, IRELAND
What a beautiful testimony!!! My uncle, pvt james p coen who died on the leopoldville would of been 100 last week, nov 20, 2015 His parents were from Ireland. He believed in education, graduated from Fordham university. All those who die for their country in uniform are martyrs of blood. In wash dc on james 100th birthday a bill was placed in motion to be voted for 2 dec. I am not happy and indeed neither would james be, who died for AMERICA. See for yourself, google: ABC’s of dumbing down The leopoldville story is about to be super known NOW, in this country, because I love America and families.
i have yet to communicate with one survivor who knew my mom’s only brother, pvt james p coen from the bronx, he was a medic. I imagine he chose to not try to survive but rather aid others, being a medic himself. Maybe your father knew this name. tomorrow, nov 20, 2015 would be his 100th birthday if he were still living.
