"He was the funny best friend named 'Juice' that could be counted on when needing to be cheered up; the uncle who always knew just what to say and when to hand out hugs; the son who was his parents' pride and joy; the father who loved his little girl more than anything in the world and couldn't wait to have more children; and the husband who loved to put a smile on his wife's face."

He was a great guy, avid Hawkeye fan and a dedicated Soldier. Juice will be missed by many and remembered for a long time. Juice lost his life not just doing his military job but coming to the aid of of fellow Soldiers that were in danger. We are only left with the memories of James now, we were blessed to have him in our lives while we could. SSG James (Juice) A. Justice RIP
