My condolences to the family, friends, and unit members of Sgt. James C. Akin. Though many years apart, we walked the same halls, traveled the same nieghborhood streets. We may have even passed by each other without me seeing the hero there, the outstanding young man, who was also a neighbor. I will be proud to stand for him now. Rest in Peace Stryker Warrior. We will bring you home with honor.

No words can ever truly heal the hurt and sorrow that you are feeling. James was a true American hero that was willing to give his life so that others might be free and I thank him. May he rest in peace and may the Lord be with you.
