Ferndale man's remains to be returned to family 37 years after ...

HUH, your dog would be honored in this country, but as you (idiot) you would not! I will pray for your health and that your little Norway should never need help again!
GOD bless you and Anon, and anyother idiot that would disgrace themselves by posting rubbish on this holy ground! I don't expect that your even man enough to state your real name.

Welcome home, Tim. Our prayers are with your family...

At least unlike Bush I support the GI bill so that vets can educate themselves to see what fools they have been to support such a tragic and ill-founded war.

The rest of you, stay on your knees--I see a long line of Bush and Cheney supporter walking down the line to receive your lip service.

I think it's really sad when people disrespect our veterans. Tim did not ask to be missing for 37 years from his loving family and friends. I always supported the Vietnam Vet's, as much a past veterans and present. I too am a veteran and proud to say I served my country so people like HUH (who, by the way does not know where he lives), can say they live in a free country. If you do not like the present administration, please get out and vote in November. By criticizing the present war, you are disrespecting those soldiers as well. They are working hard, staying away from home for many months, coming home maimed or in a pine box. How can you disrespect these people?? It's so sad that some people in this country are like this. I sleep well at night knowing I am not.

I disrespect soldiers because unless they are very stupid they must realize that they are not defending our country by killing Iraqi children.

Of course fat rednecks like you call these misguided murders "heroes" because they keep your fat ass in skittles and SUVs.

So you take a day off to snap a salute at their grave? Bug deal. You drive home in your SUV laughing at the murderous tools, who, in turn, were murdered.

Huh, isn't it obvious even to you that you could not run youe yap like this without Vets? Dissent doesn't protect you Marines with weapons do. I suppose you believe that if everyone sat down and had a nice discussion we could all get along. Everytime that strategy has been employed prior to the destruction of the enemies ability to make war it's been a failure. I'm sorry that you are so poorly educated that this is not apparent to you. Quite frankly I think we are taking too many casualties by being overly careful of civilians. The Iraqi's have a choice to make. Turn in the Terr's to us, the Iraqi Gov't, or just shoot them on the spot. If they allow them to hang around they are combatants or the parents are. The decision would be easier for them if they weren't getting mixed messages from the US.

The Terrorists are in the Iraqi Police Forces putting out IED's near roadside checkpoints. I have seen multiple documentary programs that show this happening and Marines and Army guys saying that is what is happening. The Iraqis don't want US there, so, why are we there? Concentrate the War On Terror on Afghanistan and Pakistan where AlQueda truly is operating, and let the Iraqis stand up to foreign terrorists on there own.

I’m amazed by the amount of disrespect some people have for others including our veterans. Our veterans and current servicemen & women are the reason the USA is the country it is and I know I wouldn’t want to live anywhere else. If you have such a problem with the USA and disrespect the people that fight for us to be free then go live somewhere else. What makes it ok for you to disrespect someone who died 37 years ago or his family? The USA being in Iraq & Afghanistan has nothing to do with Tim Jacobsen FINALLY coming home to his family & friends from a war that he was drafted into. It is absolutely amazing after all this time that he has been found and can finally come home and rest in peace. I feel sorry for the people that this story doesn’t touch… apparently you don’t have a heart. Everyone should be ecstatic that this Humboldt County son is coming home! Welcome home Tim!! I wish we could have met, it sounds like you were a truly amazing person and the world could use a few more like you. Thank you for all you did.

Kuddo's to Britni, I could not agree with her more. To all of you who made such horrid comments, shame on you. This is not a formum for you to post you feeling's on the war's that have happened in the past or happening now. If you don't get it, this was about TIM JACOBSEN and his family. How dare you disrespect them. To all of the Jacobsens, from a Port Kenyon girl, I am so happy that Tim is coming home. And a big THANK YOU to Ferndale for honoring Tim on this Memorial day.

Welcome home, Jake. What a great job Cindy, to keep your brother's memory alive and well. The military group that decided on the dig sites was well aware people in the US were wanting them to find Jake. Jake didn't have to go to Vietnam - he volunteerd when he was in Fort Hood, Texas. He was 11Bravo - infantry. He knew it was not under his control - he probably would have gone anyway. BUT - he didn't have to volunteer for a door gunner position, either. He did it because he wanted to fight for his country. He wanted to preserve the freedoms we have - such as this blog or whatever you call it. "Freedom Has A Taste The Protected Will Never Know". The protected are some who would take this article to try to fit it in with today's world. It's not even close. Those times were completely different - today's "Protected" will never understand, and I've given up trying. Most haven't even read up on what the "Draft" was. Those who have never fought for their country are missing the experience and the patriotic feeling that veterans can only understand. I salute all of you. I miss Jake all the time. What a wonderful guy to be taken so early in life. I knew him during the first year of duty together, and quickly became friends. I got up North (Vietnam) about the time he was lost, and never got to see him in country. I truly believe this is a tremendous occasion for the family. A closure of types, but I hope you understand I really do feel your loss.

Thank you for your service Dwight. It's good to see a comment from someone who served with Tim. Cindy and her family deserve nothing but complete respect for never giving up on finding Tim. I hope to attend the funeral so I can give Cindy Tim's POW/MIA bracelet that I have worn for 30+ years. Everyone else, except HUH was VERY respectful. God bless all of our vets, including you Dwight.

The Hubner Family has it's arms around all of you! God's special blessing for peace.

With deep respect and appreciation to the McWhorter, Hubner and Morris families. These Ferndale families each lost a son in the Vietnam War and, though some of us may have never met these men, we have not forgotten their sacrifice; nor will we. It is our duty to honor these fallen heros every Memorial Day, just has it is our duty to honor all living veteran's on Veteran's Day. Thank you for the ultimate sacrifice Tim, David and Lyle. May you each rest in peace.

Thank you for a very moving article. In two weeks I will be doing volunteer work for a traveling Wall. I will be sure that Sgt. Timothy John Jacobsen's name will be added if it is not already included.
Patric Parker RVN 68-69

...read your story with great interest....glad to see that our fallen buddies have not been forgotten.......while in viet-nam I would listen to the 'guard' freq as the guys found themselves in trouble....and they went down in the jungle....remember all the 'voices' offering up help and advise....I still hear the voices.........Bill Schmidt USAF 619 TCS...'Paris Control".....;-)

Hi Patric. That sounds like a very interesting thing to volunteer for for sure. Tim's name has been on "the wall" since it's inception. When they bring him home, it'll have to be updated to reflect he was found. I still wear his POW bracelet until he's finally home again. Take care to all of our vet's on this day!

I'm so happy for your family!!!

Update on my father's excavation.(CW2 Donald L. Wann)

From the National League of Families meeting on June 19, 2008; JPAC (Joint Prisoners of War, Missing in Action Accounting Command) http://www.jpac.pacom.mil/ my case analyst told me my dad's crash site & burial site is being excavated as we speak (June 20, 2008). The North Vietnamese restricted the crash site because of a communication base on top of the hill (Hill 1015) where the crash is located. There is an Forensic Anthropologist at the base of the hill wanting on the collections to be transferred to JPAC for labeling of the evidence and taken to CIL (Central Identification Laboratory). I will get the new scrub sheets (JPAC field reports) around September 2008. I'm still waiting to bring my father home.

I'm so excited for you, I'm sorry I just had to share about my dad.

Kindest regards, Shannon Wann Plaster

Ferndale lost four sons:
Lyle Morris 1-26-68 age 33
Howard Gifford 3-29-68 age 23
David Hubner 5-13-70 age 20
Tim Jacobsen 5-16-71 age 21
All but Tim were married, all died honorably in the service of their country and the name of freedom.
Thanks will never be enough...
