Fellow forum members:
My good friend and former high school teacher Jefferson Deblanc, who was a Congressional Medal of Honor recipient, passed away Thanksgiving day. Here are couple of interesting links. Please read:

You may want to view a re-creation of his dog fight in the Pacific when he was shot down and captured. Here is a link to that video:

He will be missed by family and friends. Your prayers will be appreciated.

Thanks,
Mike

Just watched the youtube video...what a great story and man, sorry he is gone, but glad he had friends like you to remember him.

We owe so much to that generation.
That CAN NOT be said enough.

What an awesome man.
