An Honor
Permalink Closed


I was at the recent Memorial Day parade in Sun Prairie, Wisconsin when lo and behold, a convertible carrying a gentleman passed by.  The sign stated he was a survivor of the USS Indianapolis.  What a true honor it was to see this gentleman, it brought tears to my eyes.  I only wished I had gone up to him to shake his hand.  Truly a humbling experience.  He is truly part of the "Greatest Generation."  God bless him always.

You saw Mel Jacob, one of the last Marines from Indy still with us.  He's a great man.  If you see him again, don't let the chance pass you up to shake his hand.

Thank you so much for letting me know this hero's name.  Here's hoping I'll have the privilege of seeing him again!
