I wanted to do a memorial for Jack, because like my brother Ralph McNew , who was killed in Vietnam in 1967, Jack was a great guy. He played basketball for Lily High School. He graduated in 1967 with my other brother Emory. Everyone knew each other at Lily. I never heard anything ever said against Jack, I knew his sisters and brothers, and all were spoken of highly. When Jack died, it made it harder for me because we lost a great friend. I just wanted to let his family know Jack may be gone, but will never be forgotten.

May God bless all the families whose men served in Vietman.
