  1. Many thanks Mr. Alan Jones for your service and the sacrifices of your brothers. Your loyalty and spirit lives on within those who admire your strengths and will carry on but a few steps behind you in your journey forward in time.

  2. Guys who faced death and lived. Have no fear , no hesitation, about approaching powerful men. And making an unexpected request. What’s the worst that could happen.

    Wonderful moment. See ya again next April .

  3. 1923…This Man has seen the worst the World has to offer…and the Best

    Just went to a BD Party in April for a Friend who turned 90

    She’s still crystal clear ..I hadn’t been to the House in a few years

    and I jokingly asked “Where’s the Marlene Dietrich Painting that used

    to hang in the Guest bathroom?” An hour later She handed it to Me

    and said “I better see this hanging at Your House”

    I took it…Even though it doesn’t go with My theme of

    empty Beer cans and dirty laundry.

  4. Mr. (Sargent) Alan Jones is delightful and a miracle. I’m thankful for his service and patriotism.
    How magnificent it is to have a U.S. president like Mr. Trump, who knows what it means to be an American.
    If the “winning” stopped right now (it won’t) I would still be forever greatful for President Trump.

  5. My dad was 33, married, and working in defense industry, but volunteered and served with deployment to Europe (Battle of the Bulge). He went in as a private and stayed at that rank. He never bragged about war service. He tended to tel about his time in an Army hospital and meeting with Red Skelton. He died in 2003 at age 93. He would have been 108 now.
    I was born in 1946 after his return and served more years (7 active and 13 reserve) – never saw combat or any overseas deployments. I was able to have the benefits because he paid for my college education where I was able to get a USAF commission. Although I like having the pension and Tricare, I never consider my service to be worthy of comparison to dad and others of his generation who were willing to put it all on the line for around $50 a month minus allotments to his wife and widowed mom.
