A year has gone by and I still wear my memorial bracelet with Jimmy's name almost everyday. I sleep with it, shower with it, it almost never comes off. I think of him all of the time. It doesn't matter that I never knew him in life. On memorial day, I change my facebook picture to his and post his story for everyone to see. I frequently get asked who's name is on my bracelet and I'm given the opportunity to share his story. I carry his picture in my phone so I can show people who he is so...

Jimmy will never be forgotten. He was a great friend, who was always willing to go the extra mile for his friends. His family, friends, the Rakkasans, and the US Army all suffered a great loss on December 3rd, 2005. I keep Jimmy and his family in my thoughts and prayers. 'Til we form again, brother, at Fiddlers Green.
