| Our heart felt condolences to the Kimple family and friends in the loss of James. Thank you for his service to this great country. Our prayers go out to God for you in this time of loss. James served to give us the freedom we now enjoy so much and for that he is one of the GREAT AMERICAN HEROS of the land. God bless your family and friends. Wish I could have shaken his hand and told him thank you myself. God tells us that “Greater love hath no man than this that a man lay down his life for his friends.” (John 15:13) As Christ our Lord laid down His life for us that believe in Him for salvation, so your love one has laid down his life for us for our freedom. This act has made him a Super Hero in my heart and I thank-you deeply for this sacrifice made for our freedoms. I pray that God will now bless your lives and help you see how great a thing this is which your loved one has done. The FALLEN MILITARY MEMBER has shown this country his greatest love for country and friends |

My sincerest condolences to the family and friends of LCpl James F. Kimple. Thank you LCpL Kimple for all you have done for us. You shall not be forgotten.
I have spoken with the funeral director, and will be in contact with the CACO soon. The plan set forth above is a go, there may be a few additions. We may be providing escort for LCpL Kimple from the airport to the funeral home on thursday, details to follow IF that is to happen. We may also provide escort for LCpL Kimple from teh funeral home to Bloom-Carroll Middle School at 0930 on Saturday. More to follow on that as well. As soon as I have updates, I'll pass them on via this forum. Thank you all for your help.
