Nam Vet Jack Waer Passes At Age 75

Twenty Seven year U.S. army veteran Jack Waer served a total of 9 years and 11 months in Southeast Asia, beginning in 1954 when he was parachuted as a U.S. Ranger 'observer' in to Dien Bien Phu.  Jack, known affectionately to his friends as "Crazy Jack", served as a linguist, translator and ASA intelligence specialist, earning a bunch of medals including six purple hearts.  A patriot and loyal friend, he will be missed.  Some few
short stories of his military experiences that he authored are published in TANS (amazon.com)
