EMN2 James Herring was my roommate while I was in Nuke school, and I always knew him as a kind-hearted and dedicated sailor, and an even more so, a genuine human being. He fought through adversities like not many other people would have, and was dedicated to making a name for himself. All prayers are with his family and friends. I hope Herring is resting easy now.

James Herring was a great friend who taught me a lot about hard work and perseverance. He was always there for me and always had a huge grin on his face.

Me, Domínguez and Herring flying to Nuke School from Boot Camp. Excited and nervous for what to expect from Nuke school. We were from division 150 and 151 in Boot Camp but shared the same room. We practically talked to each other every night in Boot Camp about our futures and what we wanted to do with our lives. We stayed together a lot throughout Nuke school, played games, workout, and helped each other during rough times.

This was a photo of James Herring the day after graduating from Boot Camp. We had one day off prior to leaving for nuke school. We had to wear our NSUs for the whole time while we were out. We stopped to eat at a Wendys.

This is the graduation party we had for Power School. Sadly Herring got rolled back 2 classes right before the end of Power School but was invited anyways.

I qualified with EMN2 Herring in the training pipeline, he was in my graduating class 2304, section 6.  He was a great person to talk with, and a close friend for the 2 years I knew him. Great guy. To the family - I'm so sorry for your loss, his chain of command failed both you, and especially him. I wish I could've received the news sooner. Be strong, and rest brother, I have the watch.

With deepest sympathies and heartfelt prayers for your tragic loss -

May your hearts be filled with fond memories of James today and always.

My sincerest condolences to the Herring family. I never met EMN2, but I’m sure he was a great young man and just as great sailor. May he rest in eternal peace. I sometimes find myself asking why some of us made it home and some didn’t why is life so unfair. Don’t we all deserve to get home to our loved ones? I guess god has the answer to that question and only he knows why and when he needs us. I’m sorry for your loss, and always remember as long as a hero is remembered he never truly dies.

Our deepest condolences to EMN5 James Herring's family, friends, and Navy family. Thank you for supporting him in his career path. Please know he will not be forgotten for he will walk by your side when you need someone to talk to, when you need support, he will be behind you to catch you before you fall, and there will be small signs letting everyone know he is still with you. With heartfelt wishes going your way, The Fernandez Family and in Loving Memory Capt. Ron Fleming, USMC and Bonnie Fleming, Commander of the Household.

What a beautiful young man. I was so proud of his efforts after joining the Navy. He was always kind to me and that’s why my heart is broken. It’s the good people we lose that’s makes Life so unfair. My prayers and thoughts are for Danny, Lisa and his loving sisters. Never Forgotten James Herring!💔🙏

James you will be deeply missed and forever hold a special place in my heart. Fly with the angels and I know our family will be there to greet you as you enter the gates into heaven. May you rest in peace James. 💗

My heart felt condolence goes out to all family members. In this time. I surround the family with love, protection, and peace of mind that James is now resting peacefully in the arms of Our Lord.
Love. Linda Kai🙏💕🙏✨
