Together at last...
Jim's mother Gertrude Emerson died peacefully on March 3, 2015 after a long illness. She is now at peace and can finally see her only son once again. I am certain they are together now along with Jim's father Ted. They are a family once again.

My cousin Jim Emerson
Jim was a young man when he left Raymond/South Bend to fight a war that would take his life. I can remember when he stopped by our house to say goodbye. My sister and I were 3 and 4 years old. He was our much older cousin, but I can still remember hugging him goodbye. That was the last time I would see him. His death was devastating to our family, especially his mother and father. They never recovered from the loss.

Gone but not forgotten
We were in love. We were going to marry. We were going to spend to spend the rest of our lives together. So many years have passed since you left the U.S. army and joined God's army of angels. You were a wonderful son Jimmy. Your parents were so proud of you. I was proud of you. You were amazing. Whenever I smell Old Spice after shave I think of you. Such a small thing to remember. I feel so blessed having been a part of your life. Even though I found love again and married, I hold you in my heart.

Remembering An American Hero
Dear SP4 James Wayne Emerson, sir
As an American, I would like to thank you for your service and for your sacrifice made on behalf of our wonderful country. The youth of today could gain much by learning of heroes such as yourself, men and women whose courage and heart can never be questioned.
May God allow you to read this, and may He allow me to someday shake your hand when I get to Heaven to personally thank you. May he also allow my father to find you and shake your hand now to say thank you; for America, and for those who love you.
With respect, and the best salute a civilian can muster for you, Sir
Curt Carter
