The Email Heard Around the World


The following email went out yesterday and quickly made its way around the world, eventually landing in the inbox of Jerry's grandson, Justin, who is stationed in Iraq.

Subject: Chief Jerry O'Neil

It is with great sorrow the McChord Fire & Emergency Services Flight has to report the loss of one of our retired family members. Chief Jerome (Jerry) O'Neil was killed on Saturday March 29th 2008 as the result of an auto accident. Chief O'Neil served with great honor and distinction as Fire Chief here at McChord Air Force Base from 1984 thru 1989 and he will be missed by all of us that knew him. As we receive more information we will be sure to pass that information along. Please keep the O'Neil family in your thoughts and prayers.
