THE WALL OF FACES

Some may think you are forgotten
Though on earth you are no more
But in our memory you are with us
As you always were before….

CITATION:
The President of the United States of America, authorized by Act of Congress July 9, 1918 (amended by an act of July 25, 1963), takes pride in presenting the Silver Star (Posthumously) to Captain Julius Patrick Jaeger, United States Air Force, for gallantry in action in connection with military operations involving conflict with an armed hostile force while serving with the 457th Tactical Airlift Squadron, 483d Tactical Airlift Wing, SEVENTH Air Force, at Dak Seang, Republic of Vietnam, on 6 April 1970. On that date, as a C-7A Instructor Pilot, Captain Jaeger voluntarily flew his aircraft through a heavy barrage of hostile anti-aircraft fire in order to airdrop critically needed supplies by a Special Forces camp under heavy attack by opposing forces. Captain Jaeger, with complete disregard for his own safety, successfully airdropped the critically needed supplies to the besieged camp to sustain the lives of its defenders. By his gallantry and devotion to duty in the dedication of his service to his country, Captain Jaeger has reflected great credit upon himself and the United States Air Force.

I want to thank all who have remembered my father and family! I truly appreciate your words written here. It warms my ?? heart.
I was 5 years old and still remember vividly the day they knocked on our door to give us the news of my fathers death in Vietnam! I’m his oldest daughter of 4 girls. My mother 25 and completely shattered!
Today I appreciate his sacrifice and bow my head to all who serve our great country!
Daddy - I love you and you are so dearly missed! One day we will meet again! Until then please watch over us???????????

Dear Captain Julius Jaeger, Thank you for your service as a Tactical Aircraft Pilot. Saying thank you isn't enough, but it is from the heart. It's the end of summer and Labor Day. The time passes quickly. Please watch over America, it stills needs your strength, courage and faithfulness. Rest in peace with the angels.

Captain Julius Patrick Jaeger, Served with the 457th Tactical Airlift Squadron, 483rd Tactical Airlift Wing, 7th Air Force.
