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.

Walk around everyday with jimmy on my mind and body. He will never be forgotten in my life. He was a great friend, and battle buddy. God bless his family we love ya'll
