Yesterday, we were all stunned by the news that Jim Cannon had passed away.
Jim was one of the RMA's founding members, a true patriot, and fine friend. He had been in a rehab center for some time, but the last time I spoke with Guy, he expected him to be home for Christmas.
I'll remember Jim for two things. His own courage in the face of a lingering, malicious disease, and how he used his blog for the troops.
Whenever I had a chance to visit Jim, which wasn't often enough, he was always upbeat and cheerful, regardless of how he may of been feeling on the inside. That's hard, to make your hospital visitors feel better.
Jim was also always on board with any initiative for the troops, particularly his Letters from Home project. Through his ever-changing URLs or email addresses, that was a constant.
