Fallen Soldiers and Heroes

This is my friend, Sergeant James Alexander Sherrill, killed in Bayji, Iraq on April 3, 2005, when an IED (improvised explosive device) went off near the vehicle he was in. James was with the Kentucky Army National Guards 2113th Transport Company out of Paducah, KY. James had served in the Marine Corps for four years as well. He felt that there was more that he could do for his country and joined the National Guard. James was a wonderful friend and always defended what he knew to be right. The soldiers he was deployed with were people that he had also grown up with and describe him to this day as someone they knew loved and served God, being an example even during deployment. James was engaged to be married when he was killed. His finance was pregnant with their daughter, Alexandra, who he never got to meet. James was only 27 years old when he was killed, but his life and the person he was lives on in his amazing daughter who looks like his miniature! Please keep his family in your prayers.
