Godspeed James, and thankyou..

Such sad news to hear. You never know how high the price of freedom is until it hits home. Once it does, you never forget and you never take it for granted again.

James, like so many others who have served or died in battle, carried the freedom of millions on his shoulders. I hope you find peace brother.

There is no way to say "Thank You" enough but if we would like to honor this person and others it's a great time to make a donation to a military charity: Wounded Warrior etc...

Some of these charities take care of families after a loved one is killed in the line of duty. College funds for their kids, bills etc. Cheers to you mate! God Bless!

Thank you James. You'll be in my prayers. My condolences to his family and friends.

James, I never met or spoke with you, but I'll be thinking of you and your sacrifice tonight.

Ni su'cuyi, gar kyr'adyc, ni partayli, gar darasuum, James, Leonard and Pat.

I never met you, but you chose to wear the uniform that makes you my brothers. My prayers to the families of these lost comrades. My heart breaks for you and I hope that comfort comes when you need it.

My thoughts and condolences to his family.

Some more details have come to my attention
the Attack was innitiated by a child throwing a grenade from a passing motorbike
this hit the lead vehicle immobilizing it. As the convoy stopped the full ambush began
one of his companions told me
"The last moments of his life were spent clutching my photo by his chest reloading"

a 5min ambush left 10 Coalition and Pro-coalition men dead
He died a hero

I thank you all for your kind words for me in this time
