Seeing these reflections from others brings tears to my eyes. As a descendant of Jacob, our family is deeply grateful for his legacy of bravery, honor, and duty. He was also known to be an equally honorable and loving family man. We are honored to be his descendants and thank the ATF and ODMP for maintaining this page so his family members can see how his actions continue to inspire. Thank you all for your own service and commitment. And for honoring our (great) grandfather.
