Logan County WWII and Korean War Veterans
Photo Gallery
The purpose of this special gallery is to remember and honor the service of our Logan County World War II and Korean War Veterans. We owe our veterans so much especially those that made the ultimate sacrifice. We especially would like to have photos of those that gave their life in defense of our freedom. If you have a family member that was a WWII or Korean War Veteran and wish to remember and honor them in this special gallery, please email their photo to loganwv.us@gmail.com. Preferably, the photo you submit should be in uniform and include some information about them.
Photos of WWI Veterans are also welcome. Their photos will be added to our Friends and Families Gallery until we have enough photos to create a separate gallery.

"This is David O Ryan who had his picture made with actor Robert Ryan while stationed at Camp Pendleton. He also had his photo taken with John Wayne but no one in the family can put their hands on it anymore sadly. David appeared as a radio operator in the movie The Flying Leathernecks .... they needed someone who could operate a radio, which he could do. In the theaters, he was very visible, appearing in the scene seated near a doorway operating the radio while some talking was going on in the foreground by the actors.... however, when the movie was cut down for television size, he was reduced to barely a shadow in the doorway. lol." -- Michele Ryan Kahle

Looking for photos of James A. McCoy, 319th Glider Field Artillery Battalion. WW2
Daniel, try looking for his service group online, they might have a Facebook site. Online search shows a few names for James, you need to know when he died. There are obits with the names. You might be able to contact his family members by reading the obits thus getting his photo.Sometimes Memorials on the Findagrave site have photos of the deceased person. You would have to know in which cemetery that James is buried. You can find this out by going to familysearch.org and finding his name and death record which will show you the name of the cemetery.You can also look in yearbooks, if you know where he went to school.
His photo is on the Fields of Honor website. It appears to be from The Courier-Journal – 7 November 1945
https://www.fieldsofhonor-database.com/index.php/en/american-war-cemetery-margraten-c/57953-coyle-james-a
Daniel, there is a website, 319th Gliderman that tells the history of the group with many photos. After WWII their name was changed to the 82nd Airborne Division. No listing for James A. McCoy.
My mistake of my earlier post. The soldier buried at the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten is T/4 James A. COYLE. He served in the 1st Bn, 319th Glider Infantry Regiment, 17th Airborne. He was from Louisville, KY. In my haste to help you in your request, I missed the correct spelling of his last name. Unusual coincidence with the 319th….
Daniel, there is a Facebook site for the group. You can ask questions about photos for CPL. James Arnold McCoy. It would be great if you could write something about his history.
A photo and basic Ancestry information about Cpl James A McCoy (ASN: 35136567) is on the Gliderman website…
He’s from Logan Co, born in 1909 and killed in Sept 1944. He was repatriated to Logan Co for burial in 1949.
https://319gliderman.com/search?q=mccoy
Terry, Outstanding job of research. Can James McCoy’s photo be transferred to this Logan WV website?
Bob, I have forwarded your email to the owner of the website for his OK. I can’t tell who owns the photo so it’s best he make that call.
