James E. Chaffin Obituary

I would simply like to say I am so sorry for your loss, but because of people like Mr. James we can all enjoy our freedoms. I am a senior at Winfield High School and we were assigned a project today. Each of us was to look up a fallen hero that was related to us in some way. My father's middle name is James so this is how I came upon James Edward Chaffin III. I am so thankful that I can play basketball which I love so much, watch all of my favorite t.v. shows such as "Friends", and to be able to do these things freely I will be forever greatful for. I know words will never be able to take away your pain and loss, but again, I am very sorry for your loss but I am thankful for men and women who fight for our country so we can be free. Y'all will forever be in my thoughts and prayers. Just know that you are never alone in your battle.
