Jack was with 3rd Battalion 3rd Marine Division. He served on Guadalcanal, Bouganville, and Guam! Three major campaigns earned the Purple Heart survived these horific battles and carried the losses of his fellow Marines with him always. Very proud Marine who lived until age 97 and everyone of those days as a Marine after earning the Eagle Globe and Anchor. Marines die by the Marine Corps lives forever through Marines who follow in the steps of great men like Jack. Semper Fi my brother. Keep Heaven secure until I get there, for we shall meet when I check in at the gate. I had the pleasure of meeting Jack a few years back and only recently met his daughter Kristen and her husband at their garage sale! It was no accident that the Capatain met Kristen which provided me this opportunity to share another veteran’s service with you all. I would like you all to enjoy this nice article about our brother Jack.
