Remembering those who gave their all Vietnam veteran honors two KIA Jones County pilots By Eloria Newell James, community@laurelleadercall.com“Of the thousands of fatal accidents involving jet aircraft in the war in Southeast Asia, who would have ever thought that these two servicemen, connected by a county line, would remain so relevant and on my mind 42 years later on this Memorial Day, 2009,” he said. “I offer my sincere thanks to these Marine pilots who gave their lives in the service and protection of our great country.”
McCarty, who now lives in Meridian, said he encourages others to research the lives of other veterans who have contributed to the service of this country. “I’ve tried to pay my respect as best I can,” he said. “Memorial Day is about the fellows who didn’t make it back and the sacrifices they made.” He said anyone having more information about Wallace or Jacks or their families can contact him by email at vanmac@bellsouth.net
