I was Corporal Jim Kinder's Platoon Commander during his tour at 3rdBn 6th Marines from 1984-87. He was an exceptional "one of a kind" Marine, a great personality and a true patriot at heart. I will always have fond memories of his easy going sense of humor and how the platoon seemed to center around him. This was still evident just two years ago when many of us got together at a platoon reunion at Camp Lejeune, NC. My deepest condolences to his family and long long list of friends. We will miss Jim and his energy. Fair winds and following seas Marine!
