A number of years ago, a temporary memorial was raised beside Tempe Town Lake in Ariz. One flag for each soldier remembered. How amazing to walk among these 1000 7' flags. They sold the flags just to cover their cost, since they could not leave them up year-round. I had the privaledge of purchasing a flag honoring Jakub's sacrifice. It stands in my living room unless it is outside. I think of him quite often, and his family also. I am touched to know a little more about him. Take care.

To the family and friends of Lance Cpl. Jakub Henryk Kowalik:
Remembering Jakub on the anniversary of his passing. May our fallen heroes never be forgotten!
