Luke was a mentor in ROTC, always an honest and honorable man. He was a leader among his peers and epitomized the core values and every admirable quality of the Army. Service was his life's work. I've visited his gravestone every time I've gone to DC. You are not forgotten, Molly and Bradley are not forgotten. Rest well, brother.

To the family and friends of 2nd Lt. Luke S. James:
It has truly been my honor to sign Luke's guest book these past few years. Unfortunately, due to complications from my Multiple Sclerosis, this may be the last message I'm able to write. Please forgive me and know that Luke will always be remembered in my home.
With love and respect ~ Peggy

With the passing of yet another Memorial Day weekend, I'm humbly reminded that our family is not the only Gold Star family in Oklahoma. I've set aside time today to reflect on the past and remember that your family has suffered the loss of their soldier. Thank you for this soldier's service and duty. As he will always be dearly missed because he payed the ultimate sacrifice. He gave his life to protect our country and our freedom.
Sister of Spc. Jeffrey S. Henthorn (Balad, Iraq Feb. 8, 2005)
God bless this special soldier and his grieving loved ones. Be by their side in their time of need.

To the James family,
I know there are no words to say, except how sorry I am for your loss. May you hold Lukes' memory in your heart and please remember he shall never be forgotten.
...For you every single soldier
Those who served so honorable
Your life was forever altered
While I’m home safe and free
I stand with grateful admiration
I stand respectful and so proud
I know I’m only a civilian
And I don’t even know if it’s allowed.
But I salute you; allow me the honor
to salute you with permission let me say
Even though I hold no rank know that from my heart
My humble gratitude comes from the deepest part.
I salute you.

I was so sad to see the write up and realize how long he has been gone. Please know he will not be forgotten. I pray his loved ones gather more strength to carry on and cherish his memory.
Rest in peace.

If this person can stand in battle to ensure my freedom, then I will stand in grief with his/her family to honor him/her. For every fallen HERO there is a bright star that shines in the evening sky to remind us of the cherished gift we were given – even if for too short a time.
My heart breaks again as I sign yet another guest book of another courageous young soldier who gave their life so selflessly. I wish I never found myself in a position to have to sign another guest book for the rest of my life, but I promised LE RON A. WILSON (a dear friend KIA 7/6/07, 18yrs old) that neither he nor any like him would be forgotten and so I will continue until the day there is no longer the need.

In Remembrance of this Fine Young Soldier, 2nd Lt. Luke S. James, on the 3rd anniversary of the day he gave his life for our Country and for Freedom.
May Luke, rest safely in God's Care and know that he is a True American hero, that shall Never Be Forgotten.
May the Peace of the Lord be with the James family.
There will never be enough ways, to humbly thank these Heroes, for their Supreme Sacrifice, my brother among them. KIA-Vietnam 1967.
"And God shall wipe away every tear from their eyes,
there shall be no more death,
nor sorrow, nor crying,
there shall be no more pain.
For the former things have have passed away."
Revelations 21:4
May you find peace in knowing the love and memories you have of Luke, will remain in your heart forever and that this Country remembers his sacrifice.
I am deeply sorry for your loss.

To the James family; I previously signed Luke's guest book. I continue to visit and honor Luke each week while I am at ANC. On the 27th it will be 3 years since Luke was taken. From the most inner part of my heart I am so sorry Luke was taken from you.
Luke you are my hero and you will NEVER be forgotten.
