"Uncle Jack"
Niles resident and Veterans History Project Participant, Martin O'Grady, commends this 16 minute tribute and writes:
"The story and videography are inspiring...as we approach Memorial Day, let's remember these WWII vets in our prayers...were it not for them, none of us would have the wonderful lives we have today. As you may know, Gary Sinise is a Chicago-area boy and very supportive of U.S. veterans."
