I have a great memory to share. I was visiting my mother for an 80th birthday celebration in Princeton. Uncle Jack asked for help installing some software. We were chatting, and I commented on a photo of the Acropolis I have always admired. Unbeknownst to me, Uncle Jack had taken that picture. We had a great conversation about memories of being in the service. Uncle Jack was always a proud Marine! I will always treasure that moment in time. I have so much to say, but that moment felt so big to me. Much love Uncle Jack. Semper Fi from your Army Dog nephew.
