I want to make mention of my favorite veteran, my dad.
Victor Rex Jackson
US ARMY - World War II
US ARMY - World War II
Served: 7 May 1942- 2 Sep 1945
Rex served in the European front in the countries of France, Germany, Italy, and North Africa. He was part of the army that made the invasion on Normandy beach in France on June 6, 1945. During the three long years over there he had to endure living in harsh conditions and was constantly in danger. Although he had a couple of close calls, Rex's life was preserved and he came home without any injuries.Today Rex is still living at 96 years of age, and resides in Provo, Utah.

Today, I have been thinking about Grandpa Jackson & the many other veterans who have touched our lives. Thank you SO MUCH for posting this awesome picture of him & a brief biography of his war experiences.
Bonnie, I am always so surprised to see how much you look like your dad. Are you?
