Remembrance of Jack from a Member of Grace Episcopal Church & Youth Group
When I moved to Washington, DC in 2011, I found Jack's name on the Vietnam Memorial Wall; years ago, I also found Jack's name on the Kentucky Vietnam Memorial in Frankfort. I was instantly startled and profoundly sad to see the name on a memorial of my friend, Jack, who was so much a part of my younger life! Jack and Jim (brother of Jack) and their twin sisters were, like my family, long-time members of Grace Episcopal Church, Boone County, KY. Jack and Jim were acolytes. The Reverend Arthur Willis patiently led our youth group. The last time I saw the Brewer family, including Jack's young wife and first child, was at Jack's funeral, almost 55 years ago. Throughout my life I have often thought of Jack and his sacrifice on behalf of our country. I take this opportunity to let the Brewer family know this. When I recently read Kristin Hannah's novel, "The Women," memories of Jack resurfaced again with my appreciation for his brave and unselfish choice in life to serve our country.

Still remembered and loved
54 years ago we lost our oldest brother, William Jackson Brewer, Jr., Jack. He was killed in Cambodia being what he’d always wanted to be…a soldier. His legacy is his son, our nephew, Jack Brewer, the third and his indelible belief in his duty to our country. We have very mixed and vitriolic feelings about Vietnam, but not about his deep faith in our country and his willingness to lay down his life upholding those principles he held so dear. So as we near this Memorial Day, think of Jack and those who have made the ultimate sacrifice for our country and the families they left behind. And in that reflection, join me in saying thank you.

Thank You for Your Leadership and Sacrifice
Jack, when I entered Eastern Kentucky and Pershing Rifles, I saw you as a person to admire and later considered you a friend and mentor. Recently I "visited" you at the Vietnam Wall and as always said another prayer for you and your family.
