Send Flowers

Though he was a world away, Spc. James Edward Marshall remembered to send a dozen pink roses to his mom for Mother''s Day. He even called to make sure they arrived. Hours later, Pam Marshall learned that her son had died. The 19-year-old from Tulsa, Okla., was killed May 5 along with another soldier when their Humvee hit an improvised explosive device in Baghdad. He had been in Iraq for less than two months. As a child in a community karate program, Marshall was determined to be the best. "He was a young man who didn''t know how to quit," said his teacher, police Officer Marvin Blades. Marshall, stationed at Fort Hood, Texas, joined the Army shortly after graduating from high school in 2002. His godfather, the Rev. M.C. Potter, spoke at his funeral. "God only gives us an allotment of time, and it''s up to us to make it mean something," Potter said. "James certainly did that."

Always remembering James. "Some gave all."

The flag is flying in the sky
A daily reminder of who and why
We sit here remembering them today
These heroes that now lie in their grave.

While here on earth, the bravest ones
A soldier, a mother, a daughter, a son
The father's who went far off to war
To ensure our safety and so much more

To keep our children happy and free,
Someone must do this job, you see
So, today remember the soldiers who served,
Because this is one...

To the family of SPC Marshall, I served in Iraq with your Soldier and he was and is a blessing. I met him in the church where he was always smiling...didn't say much but we were always able to understand the point he was trying to convey. He played the drums as the choir sang and to this day I can hear his music in my heart.

To the family and friends of Spc. James E. Marshall:
Remembering James on the anniversary of his passing. May our fallen heroes never be forgotten!
