Remembering An American Hero

Dear 2LT Martin Jerome Keogh, 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

friends from Iona Prep and Villanova

Jerry...I think of you often. We rode the Stanford Local from Larchmont to New Rochelle, trying to keep one car ahead of the conductor. I remember reading about the first battles in the Vietnam War in the New York Times on that train with you. Your early death will always be a source of pain for me. You were a gentle, charming soul. I miss you.

I'm named after Jerry

My name is Brendan Jerome McEvoy and Jerry was my father's best friend. I only heard a few stories about Jerry and it was likely due to the pain everyone in Mamaroneck feels about his death. My father passed away in 2006 (lung cancer) and I would love to learn more about Jerry. Please email me your memories.

Jerry on the way to Fort Dix

I remember Jerry. Memorable, confident; true leadership qualities. Despite the tough wakeup call we all had on the way from Philadelphia AFEES and at Fort Dix in the fall of 1968, Jerry could keep us laughing and having fun. Though we both ended-up in Vietnam after Basic and OCS, I was the lucky one: I can still remember him and smile...
