SEMPER FI

AMEC Jack L. Wright, thank you for your service and your sacrifice to make our country great. I discovered your story through a family genealogy project (you are my father-in-law's uncle). I found a picture of you and posted it to this site. I also found other photos of you and posted what I could. It is my hope that no one forgets you and the ultimate sacrifice you have made. Your photo will hang in my home, as apart of our family history and to honor your bravery and sacrifice.

We remember you and we honor you.
Thank you Jack.

Dear AMEC Jack Lee Wright, 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
