Fallen Soldiers and Heroes

K.I. A. - 4/10/04 While serving his country in Iraq My name is Margaret Kellum and I lost my son and best friend on April 10,2004 due to hostile fire in Iraq. Even though he was only 5'3" he had a heart the size of the world. He has made all of so very proud of him. He was born on Aug.10,1982 in Alexander City, Al. Graduated in May of 2001 from Benjamin Russell High School then went to boot camp at Paris Island, SC. in June of 2001. He is so loving and so humorous. You could never be sad around him cause he would always do something silly to make you laugh. He loved to wrestle and all outdoor events. He has been awarded the Bronze Liberty Bell Award as well as the purple heart. His Staff Sargent told us that he never had to worry about JT not having all the things that he needed when they had to go anywhere cause JT stayed prepared at all times. I'm sending you a couple of photos hope you can use them and thank you so much. Semper Fi - Proud Marine Mom Forever Of LCpl. John T. Sims Jr. K.I. A. - 4/10/04 GSM Margaret Kellum
