HERO WOD | JACK

In memory of U.S. Army Staff Sgt. Jack M. Martin III.

THE HERO

Jack M. Martin III dreamed of working as an educator or finding another way to help people when his time in the military ended, his family said.

The 26-year-old from Bethany, Okla., was helping to resupply a school construction project in the Philippines when he was killed Sept. 29 by a bomb buried beneath a road on Jolo Island. Military officials said he was part of a task force deployed to help quell militants there.

U.S. Army Staff Sgt. Jack M. Martin III, 28, assigned to 3rd Battalion, 1st Special Forces Group, Fort Lewis, Washington, died during Operation Enduring Freedom when an improvised explosive device detonated near him.
