I knew jack very well during the viet nam war,we shared the same houch, and talked at get length to what the future would bring to us after our discharge. We lost touch over the years,but my friendship was never forgotten. When doing some research on the internet , and reading about jack i stated to cry and remembering what a great friend to me he still is. After we both discharged we worked together in california in 1970,after that i went to Las Vegas,Nev to become a deputy sheriff and start a family, and lost touch with jack. I know this is late in coming,but knowing jack is with our lord and saviour,and that someday we will see each other again. May god bless all his family.
