Then the day you joined back with us in Columbia, on a very important VOTE. Your pictures enforce why serving is important to you. The children there and those four you love back home, along with your darling wife. So that freedom will be there for all. When entering Room 335 C, our Caucus meetings, and the House Chambers, my memories of your dedication are there even though for a short time of this my freshman’s year (Jan -08). Your dedication as, House of Representative serving your people in SC District 72, now expands to serve as Captain not only for SC but people of the free world. Expressed again on your “A Soldier’s Journal” under Psalm91****My Refuge and My Fortress.. were certainly ubiquitous in your daily service. We continue to pray for “you all”. You, and others, that so steadfastly protect and give us our freedom. WE anxiously await everyone’s return.

Here is a guy who's life situation presents him every excuse in the world for not serving in combat yet he is not only willing but insists upon doing it. As I told him before he left us in the House of Representative, he is making a bunch of people who think quite highly of themselves look incredibly small. Of course, James sees himself as just another member of his unit. If you ask him, he would say his colleagues are far more deserving of any heroic accolades. Godspeed James.

Godspeed James.
