We all know the sacrifices that our Marines make. LCpl James M. Gluff made those sacrifices so that our world will be a better place. He made those sacrifices without any reservations. Now his friends and family must also make many sacrifices.
I am truly sorry for the pain that this family is going through. Please find some measure of comfort knowing that LCpl James M. Gluff will always be remembered as a true American Hero.
America is the greatest, most powerful nation in our world. The success of our nation can be contributed to two things. The compassion found in the hearts of America’s citizens and the unselfish conviction to doing what is right by America’s Marines. An American Marine sets the bar for being compassionate, dedicated, professional, and sincere in doing his duty. There are three things that are important to American Marines. Honor, sacrifice, and remembrance. LCpl James M. Gluff, you have exemplified honor with your actions, you have made the ultimate sacrifice for your nation, and you will always be remembered as a shining example of America’s best.
LCpl James M. Gluff, your war is over. You have fought a gallant battle. You have made a difference in the future of our nation and in our world. Rest easy my combat brother. Rest in peace.

A person is not judged a Hero by the way he died-rather by the way he lived.
The price of freedom is visible at any Veteran's Hospital.
If you want to salute, or cover your heart with your hand, or just stand silently holding the flag, it's your choice. The only thing I request is that you do it in a respectful manner. I am a combat veteran. I served my country. I led young men and boys face to face in combat with their enemy. I also am a disabled veteran. War related. I have certainly earned the right to salute in a respectful manner but my salute is no more important than any nonveteran standing in our flag line. My love for America and my respect for our fallen warriors is no more or no less important than anyone else that comes to our PGR mission. I have fought for my country and I will continue to fight for the rights of every person that stands in our flag line.
Georgia PGR.... PART OF IT- PROUD OF IT!
If it's truly not about us, then it doesn't matter what logo we wear on our backs as long as we honor our warriors in a respectful manner.
If it takes a village to raise a child, then it should take the nation to honor it's warriors. |

Deepest condolences and prayers to the family and friends of LCpl. Mc Gluff. May the eternal love of God carry you through this time.
To my brother in the Corps, thank you for your ultimate sacrifice for my freedom. Thank you for making it possible for myself and my loved ones to sleep in the thought that we are safe.

Which we are proud to serve;
In many a strife we've fought for life
And have never lost our nerve.

They will find the streets are guarded
By United States Marines!" |

The Fallen...
Through Their Memory
They Still Give...
We thought of you with love today
But that is nothing new.
We thought about you yesterday
And days before that too.
We think of you in silence
We often speak your name.
Now all we have are memories
And your picture in a frame.
Your memory is our keepsake
With which we'll never part
God has you in His keeping
We have you in our Heart.
Life is unpredictable, so to try and predict what is ahead is only asking for disappointment. Just live it as we can. Love and love of life will help us be guided in our decisions as we go forward.

Heroes never die, they live in our hearts forever. LCpl Gluff, you have risen to higher ground, on a path of bravery, courage, and selflessness. You have now joined the 15 other heroes of 1/8 Bravo 2nd platoon who have served with my son, to keep watch over your family and your brothers. You are in my heart forever.
Kendra, stay strong, surround yourself with precious memories of your courageous husband, and know that he was respected and loved by the Marines he served with. Know that your loving husband is watching over you and your son as you read this. Stay strong for your son, and pray that God brings you strength.
I will be there, in honor of your husband, as you lay him to rest among the other heroes of this great nation.
