@bestdefensefoundation: Papa Jake has inspired us all over the years and made it to an incredible milestone of 102 years old. He was a big part of the Best Defense Foundation family and will be severely missed. We will continue to tell your story for generations to come. Rest in peace and thank you for your service, @storytimewithpapajake. #takingcareoftheoneswhotookcareofus #delta #papajake #storytimewithpapajake #wwii #Normandy #dday81
He might not have considered himself a hero, but Jake Larson was a true heo. His calling was to survive and live to tell the stories of those that gave up their today's for our tomorrows. May he join his brethren in God’s Glory and rest in peace. Thank you for showing us how to be grateful for the gift you and your generation helped to protect. R.I.P., Papa Jake. ❤️❤️❤️🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
