| Thoughts on the 58th Bomb Wing: |
|
Jack is no longer here to express his thoughts. He passed away in June, 2002. We, as his family, are very proud of the service he gave to his country. He worked for Northrop Aircraft Corp. and that job gave him a deferment from military service. He believed in fighting for "mom and apple pie" so strongly that he gave up his deferment and enlisted.
