Capt. James D. Nehl

James, It never gets easier with each passing year. You were a great leader, and amazing friend. I would not be where I am today had it not been for your guidance and leadership.

COL Sid Linver and I supported Capt Neil´s unit in Afghanistan through our Platoon´s Forward program. I worked directly with one of his senior NCOs, SFC Justin Zeller. I had communicated with James on several occasions and enjoyed his sense of humor and obvious affection for his troops. Justin was with him the day he died and Sid and I attended the services honoring him and others at Ft. Riley. All these years later his loss still brings tears to my eyes. Say his name every chance you get....

Grief can be so hard, but our special memories help us cope. Remembering you and your loved one today and always.

Those who gave selflessly, always receive eternal blessing. May the Good lord continue to protect and guide Capt James D Nehl family and friends and replace your loss with memory of his Kindness, and selfless life. Rest easy warrior.

Oh, James...always so sweet, kind... loved ya kiddo, happy to have had you as family!❤

Hey bud, miss you. Think of you often. RIP

Thank you Captain Nehl.

I had the distinct honor to serve with James. We went to OCS and IOBC together. I loved to hear his stories about his adventures in Alaska! He seemed to me to be one of the most self reliant and resilient individuals I ever met. He was a great man, exceptional officer, and will be missed! To his family: my deepest sympathy.

I was at his ramp ceremony on 9 NOV 12 on FOB Warrior in Afghanistan. It is a night I will never forget. RIP CAPT Nehl.
