To the Jamerson Family. I'm sorry to read of Mr. Jamerson's passing. I met Mr. Jamerson about 11 years ago by chance at the Ft. Eustis library as he was explaining Veteran's bennifits to a friend of mine that works there. Meeting him that day was a blessing that I didn't even know was at the time. His advice made a big difference for the better in the quality of life for our family when less than a year later my husband became severely disabiled. I sent a thank-you card to him through my friend at the library to let him know what had happened to my husband and how grateful I was to him for the advice he gave me that day. Mr. Jamerson was still doing what a good Senior NCO does by looking after the "troops" and their families.
