Robert "Bobby" Jackson was my best friend from childhood on. We lived in Paramount, California. Being in the The Marine Corps was his life. He joined at 18 and I was always impressed with his dedication and committment to the Corp. I still think about him all the time and, to this day, still can't believe he's gone. I served in Vietnam myself at the age of 18 but was fortunate enough to come back. Bobby was not so fortunate but he loved the Marines. He'd say "Once a Marine always a Marine". Even after all these years he's been gone, I'd bet he's still saying the same thing.

The point-of-contact for this memorial is
his best friend,
Myron Siddons
