This
piece was a commissioned piece of "JJ" who is a noble
member of the
Warrior Canine Connection. JJ was named in
honor of United States Army Private First Class Jesse
Jack Martinez
Army Private First Class
Jesse Jack Martinez was born in Germany where his father
Manuel Martinez Jr., was serving in the Army. A 2002
graduate of Duncan-Russell High School in Tracy,
California, PFC Martinez hoped to be a police officer
when he left the service.
After enlisting in the Army
with a desire to serve and give back to his country, PFC
Martinez graduated Fort Benning, Georgia in August of
2003. He was assigned to the 5th Battalion, 20th
Infantry Regiment, 3rd Brigade, 2nd Infantry Division,
at Ft. Lewis, Washington. A member of the Stryker
Brigade combat unit, PFC Martinez deployed to Iraq on
November 14, 2003.
On July 14, 2004 while
serving during Operation Iraqi Freedom, PFC Martinez was
killed on his way to a mission, when his Stryker vehicle
rolled over as the driver tried to avoid a gas tanker
heading towards them. He was 20 years old.
PFC Martinez’s mother Jan
described her son by saying that he was “A young man who
wanted nothing more than to make his country proud of
him and a better place to live.” “If Jesse was looking
for his place in life, he found it in what he was doing
over there,” said his commanding officer. It is with
great pride that we name WCC’s JJ in honor of United
States Army Private First Class Jesse Jack Martinez.
Special thanks to Susquehanna
Service Dogs for their support of their mission. |
