James Raymond Linder

Donna, Jason, Ray, and Ann I grew up down the street from you when you lived in AZ. For some curious reason I googled and discovered Jamie passed away in a helicopter crash. I'm sorry for your loss. As a kid I always enjoyed playing with you and remember you fondly.

I'll never forget you my friend, continue to fly high in our memories and our hearts.

Dear Melinda, Braxton, Adam, & Ethan:

We are truly saddened by your deep loss. James was a wonderful man, husband, father, and pilot. We are blessed to have known such a great human being. He always had a positive outlook on life and a smile every time we encountered him. Tommy has fond memories of the two of them learning to fly together. With your family's ulimate sacrifice and our troops (Tommy as well) in Iraq and Afghanistan - it is a reminder that freedom is absolutely not free....

Melinda,
We were so saddened to hear the news about James. I can't even imagine what you and the boys are going through right now. I just wish I was there to help you through it. Ken read the news in the weekly Army Times he receives. I know we haven't been in touch for many years, but James had been in contact with Ken while he was in Afghanistan. James was such an amazing person, father & husband. Our thoughts & prayers are with you and your family. May God bless you and comfort...

Mindy,

It's been a long time since I've been in touch with you, but I remember you and James from highschool and remember what a great couple you were.

It was easy to recognize even back then that you two were meant to be with each other and that you both would have a great life together.

When my mom called to tell me what happened, I was shocked and saddened by the news. I offer you my deepest condolences!

Take care,

To my brother in arms, calm winds and blue skies my friend. May God bless your family.

To the Linder family and all who mourn his death:
Our family wants to thank you for James' service to our country and to all those around the world who love freedom. We recognize the sacrifice that James made and the sacrifice that all of you are now making and that you will continue to make.
