THE WALL OF FACES

Hi Vernon, As your fellow Marines would say:
SEMPER FI

It's hard to believe that it is 46 years ago today. I was just a little guy, but still remember that sad day. And I still remember you on your Mom and Dad's farm.

Vernon is buried at the Onalaska Cemetery, in the section just south of the maintenance building near the corner of 2nd Ave. & Corinthian Ave. in the cemetery, 4th row in from the east, 1st column in from the north.

Dear PFC Vernon Duane Jacobs, sir

As an American, I would like to thank you for your service and for your sacrifice made on behalf of our wonderful country. The youth of today could gain much by learning of heroes such as yourself, men and women whose courage and heart can never be questioned.

May God allow you to read this, and may He allow me to someday shake your hand when I get to Heaven to personally thank you. May he also allow my father to find you and shake your hand now to say thank you; for America, and for those who love you.

With respect, and the best salute a civilian can muster for you, Sir

Curt Carter

Hi Vernon, I visited you today to say hello, say a prayer and give you a salute. As your fellow Marines say.. Semper Fi. Your friend, Dennis
