Thank YOU for your service to our country ...Gordon,<br />Thank YOU for your service to our country too. I hear you served in Vietnam. I have a son in the Army right now and another in the Junior Air Force ROTC. Without brave men and willing soldiers like you, we wouldn't enjoy the freedoms we have today. Thank YOU! You're a true hero.Movie Review Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04452710128237251313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7847574729060735700.post-14551079933894708512011-09-27T21:56:58.113-07:002011-09-27T21:56:58.113-07:00Sherm, it seems we were both blessed to have known...Sherm, it seems we were both blessed to have known Dan. I never did go with him to a speaking assignment, but speaking at his funeral was an honor. I know how much I revered my DI in Marine basic WAY back when, and he too was a Korean War veteran. But he did not have the credentials that Dan sported. I have never before or since met anyone who carried five Purple Hearts and lived to tell the tale.Gordon Ryannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7847574729060735700.post-33738961487785170972011-09-27T15:03:39.809-07:002011-09-27T15:03:39.809-07:00I used to take Dan with me when I was assigned to ...I used to take Dan with me when I was assigned to speak at church services for recruits on Camp Pendleton. I always enjoyed listening to him lay out his "bonafides" and watching the recruits focus intently on whatever he said. They knew he was the real deal. He'd speak of honor and integrity and I knew that anything I had to add was secondary to the message he conveyed in word and deed.Shermhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07098953206824247173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7847574729060735700.post-52987342784010261462011-07-16T08:13:44.545-07:002011-07-16T08:13:44.545-07:00Dan Levi Jackman is my younger brother,Iam proud t...Dan Levi Jackman is my younger brother,Iam proud to say he lined inour home while he was training the guards from the state prison to handle their wepens.Enid Jackman Nortonnoreply@blogger.com
