Jamie L. Huggins Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Jan. 28, 2005.
Staff Sgt. Jamie Huggins left for Iraq the same week his first child _ a daughter named Mallory _ was born in March. "Part of him wanted to go over to Iraq to help, but part of him didn''t want to leave me and his daughter," said his wife, Marissa Danielle Huggins. The 26-year-old soldier was killed by a roadside bomb in Baghdad, Iraq, on Oct. 26. A native of Hume, Mo., he was stationed at Fort Bragg, N.C. Huggins joined the Army in May 1997. Danielle Huggins said he joined to earn money for college and see the world. "He wanted to better himself," she said.

”Honor and Remember” - “Project Compassion” We love our Soldiers! We love our country and we cannot express enough love and compassion to the families of our fallen heroes. War does not discriminate – It breaks our hearts to see the faces of the fallen. We want to give this gift to the hero’s Mother, Father and/or spouse. We are a 501c3 nonprofit organization! Over 1,850 portraits have been completed and shipped to the parents and or spouse - at no cost as this is a gift from one American to another!
This is a gift! We have some wonderful sponsors who help with the costs, and only want you know that we care.
Contact us directly at [email protected] or go to www.heropaintings.com . If you have already had a portrait completed, we pray that you are enjoying the portrait and God Bless You.
Sincerely and Respectfully,
Kenna

It is difficult to know what to say since I want to express my sincere sympathy to the famly and friends of Staff Sgt Huggins. Please know that your loved one is not forgotten. I wish everyone impacted by this tragic loss strength and peace. I hope that Staff Sgt Huggins knew that there are people in America who respect his great courage in serving as a member of the US military. Although I did not know him, I know that he must have been a very special person to be willing to do something that most Americans will never have to experience, and for that we can never say thank you enough.
Thank you Staff Sgt Huggins!

Staff Sgt. Huggins,
As a native of Hume, MO, I am saddened to read your name in this list today. As a mother of a soldier, I certainly do understand the ultimate sacrifice you made for this country. May your wife and daughter know that you will always be a hero to us.

You are remembered and respected. Thank you Staff Sgt Huggins!

I served with SSG Huggins in the 25th Infantry Division. He lived in the room right next door. He is and always will be a great American hero.

I don't pretend to know what to say or do that would bring you peace in your time of sorrow, but I will offer my heart felt condolences. I also offer you my prayers that in time the pain will easy and the memories of your HERO will carry you through each day and night. I want to thank your HERO, for his/her selfless act of becoming a member of the armed forces, his/her willingness to defend the United States of America, all that we hold sacred and for the sacrifice that will forever be etched in the memories of all those who knew him/her. Though tears can never bring him/her back, we hope that our tears express our gratitude for the sacrifice that he/she made and our sorrow at his/her passing. I believe for every fallen HERO there is a star shining brightly up above to remind us of the precious gift we were given.

Your mission on earth is complete and you are now a member of GOD’s Heavenly armed forces. Stand down brave warrior and take your rightful place in Heaven with all the HEROES who have passed before.

I made a special promise to LE RON A. WILSON (KIA on 07/06/07) on the day he was laid to rest as I touched his coffin, that I would never forget him nor would I forget those that gave their lives for our country before him, with him and after him and so when I came across www.legacy.com, I thought what a great way to keep my promise to Le Ron, so I will continue to leave tributes in each guest book until the day there is no longer the need to leave these tributes to a FALLEN HERO.

REST IN PEACE, HERO, YOU WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN!!

To Jamie's family, especially Danielle and Mallory,

I've been interning this summer at Arlington House in Arlington National Cemetary, and since the Women's Memorial wasn't staffed to archive the objects left at Faces of the Fallen, the curatorial staff I'm on volunteered to help. I want you to know that Jamie was truly loved and is mourned, if the things left at his portrait are any evidence. Your note broke down the hard shell I was trying to keep all day, and I sobbed openly in front of all who were there to see. My sorrow cannot compare with your own, so please know that my hopes and prayers are with you. I'm sure that Mallory will grow into a woman with as beautiful a soul as her mother, whose note I read. Thank you.
