James Schroeder Obituary

James, always our son, but also the best Marine in the Marine Corps.

You were a great Husband and a special Dad to

your Girls.

You were a true friend to those you held close.

You loved you family first, the girls were the center of your existence, but the

Marines were your life.

You never let them down. You always brought your "A" game whether as a drill instructor, on your many floats, in the field, or on board ship. No matter the duty station you made sure your Marines were prepared and ready to defend. Also ready to survive. You met your training challenges and competed at the top of your abilities and met them

all fully.

Thank you for your service and sacrifice.

You watch over us now as we walk our daily paths.

Always loved

Always in our Hearts

Your Whole Family
