Courage and goodness
I was a few years ahead of Jerry in school, so he wasn’t one of my regular friends, but in a small town everyone knows everyone else regardless. I saw Jerry a lot at church for years, knew his parents, and rode my bike by his house on my way to school.
I was thinking about Jerry, and a couple others from Grinnell who died in Viet Nam, while I was playing Taps at Hummel Memorial Cemetery here in Hummelstown, Pennsylvania, on Memorial Day.
Jerry was a decent, upright kid—a good Christian. He was never in any trouble and I don’t even think he had any bad habits. When I think of Jerry, I think of innocence. His death was a tragedy; it still hurts. But it can’t change the kind of person he was. His legacy is one of patriotism, courage, and goodness.

Dear Uncle Jerry
I want to thank you for your service and everything you done to help. I wish I'd gotten to know you. I did a project about you in my junior year in highschool of people who is my hero. I wanted to get to know my moms side and when I heard about you, I wanted to know more. You are deeply missed, but I'm also proud to call you my uncle.
Your neice
