O.T." Jakes Lake"

I know some of you know about me and my endevours.
My son Jake 3-13-1978/5-7-2000 was an M60/M249 gunner A Co. 2nd. Bn. 12th. Infantry Reg.
I live on 200 acres in gods country Wisconsin.
I farmed and had an excavating business. I sold the cows and kept the excavating going until my older son Mat decided to go over the road trucking. He was the best back hoe operater I ever had.
I have three ponds on the property that are stocked and fun to fish and visit.
When Jake left us I decided to build a "BIG" pond in his name and honor.
So Mat and I started the project four years ago, and today I finished the last details. It has been a tremedous amount of work. Now I'm waiting for water to fill the lake.
How appropiate that I finished on the birthday of our nation that Jake was so proud to be a citizen and defender of.....Frank

I'm sorry for your loss, Frank but grateful to Jake for his service to us. "Jake's Lake" seems a very nice way to honor the young man. God bless you, your family and Jake.

old crow, thank you for your kind words and thoughts.
Jake was truly "led by love of country".
It is said that we lose these fine young men to soon.
I miss him everyday......Frank
