Memorial Day 2010 - Honoring Those Who Served

On this Memorial Day, 2010, I pay tribute to Jess Carl Petersen, my father's uncle, who served in the U.S. Navy in World War II.

Uncle Jess is buried at Soldier's Circle at Wyuka Cemetery in Lincoln, Nebraska.

Jess was born in Hardy, Nebraska on November 14, 1915 and died much too soon at age 45 on September 12, 1961.
