Friend –

As you probably have heard, my friend Beau Biden has died. I wanted to share my memories of Beau with you and ask that you put your sorrow into action by helping a cause that Beau believed in. 

I first met Beau in Iowa while I was working as the Veteran's Director on his dad's 2008 Presidential campaign. I spent time with him traveling around the state doing events.

Later, I had the opportunity to spend six months in Iraq with him in 2009. Beau was in Baghdad with his Delaware National Guard unit and I was there doing intelligence work as a civilian. We worked about a block away from one another and spent time together at Camp Victory eating meals, watching movies, and occasionally watching the VP on political shows. 

I mostly remember talking with him about what the future held, how much we missed our families and the causes we cared about. I also remember going for a run with him in which he left me far in the dust! 

During my congressional campaign Beau was with me every step of the way. You likely even received several emails from him asking you to support my campaign. 

He was just a great guy and a good friend, and I think we would have been better served if he had more time to serve in government. So let's take this as an opportunity to redouble our efforts to make our country a better place, just like Beau did. 

Beau spent his career fighting for children and prosecuting those who abused them. So I ask that in his memory that you make a donation to Beau Biden Foundation for the Protection of Children.

Let's continue his work to protect those most vulnerable among us. 

If you'd like to express condolences to the Biden family you may do so here:

Thank you for allowing me to share my memories with you and your support. 

Jim
