"Many years ago, the town of Maine—a rural community, located near the Triple Cities of Vestal, Endicott and Johnson City in upstate New York, dedicated the Little League field to Jerry, who was a hometown hero. Jerry was the first boy to earn a college degree in the town of Maine and go on to become a Marine Corps jet pilot.
Respect for our military begins at home, and the families of Maine- Endwell Little League are doing a great job. Their website includes a beautiful tribute to Jerry. Please take a moment to visit www.maine-endwelllittleleague.org/. Kudos to the League’s web administrator, Terry McFadden..."
"However, in recent years our family became involved with the Joint POW/MIA Accounting Command (JPAC), now merged with the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency (DPAA), and learned that Jerry’s and Al’s remains might, in fact, be recoverable, so we are doing everything possible to support their efforts to make this happen and bring our guys home where they belong."
