I lived in Ft Benning Ga when I met James Connell and his wife and children. I will never forget during a power outage going over to his house and he gave me a camping lantern and a flashlight to use, my husband was in Kuwait at the time and I will never forget that. He was a great father and loved his kids very much. My thoughts and prayers are with his family.
