Cpl Robert Jackson and Cpl David Jackson

Cpl Robert Jackson and Cpl David Jackson

We recently went to the Iwo Jima Memorial in Washington D.C. My sons, Cpl. Robert Jackson, 20 and Cpl. David Jackson 21, stand in front of the memorial. Their older brother, First Class Petty Officer Daniel Jackson was on duty in the Persian Gulf so he was unable to go with us. We are from the Gila River Indian Reservation in Arizona—Ira Hayes’s home.

In the next photo they are standing in between their Marine cousin’s name, Pfc. Peter G. Ruiz, who was killed in Vietnam.

Robert served in Iraq and David has served in Djibouti, Africa.

Semper Fi from their father, Cpl. A. L. Jackson 1975-79
