I wasn't aware of this site until today. Jerry, you live on in the memories of your family, and you have a namesake great-nephew, John Jerad. Your brother Richard is my wonderful brother-in-law. You were taken too soon. Thank you for your service to our country.

Gone, but not forgetten!! My father remembers you fondly.

Gerald, we never met, because you paid the ultimate sacrifice before I was born. My fathers speak fondly of your memory, and we have visited your grave, and viewed your name on the wall in Washington D.C on numerous occasions. May your memory always live on, and your Nation never forget the sacrifices others have made for us. God Bless you, and your family.
