The Jacobsen

Leave a comment

WARMUP: Not really

THE THANG: The Jacobsen – For William W. Jacobsen Jr., 31. Captain William Jacobsen, 31, commanded A Company 1-24 Infantry in the 25th Infantry Division (Stryker Brigade). He was the highest-ranking officer killed on December 21, 2004 when a suicide bomber attacked a mess hall, killing him and 21 others in Mosul, Iraq.

CPT Jacobsen attended Brigham Young University where he graduated in 1998 with a degree in Business. He was also enrolled in the R.O.T.C. program.

Prior to his deployment he taught a children’s Sunday School class. Before he left he expressed his commitment to providing the Iraqi people with the opportunity to live in a democratic and free country.
CPT Jacobsen lived life to the fullest. For instance, he ran two marathons, went rappelling, and took surfing lessons in Hawaii. He was an Eagle Scout and served a two-year mission for the Church to Dallas, Texas.
Jacobsen was an example to his soldiers and leaders alike. “His battalion commander said that if he knew all Mormons fought like Bill, he would convert the whole battalion.”

He was survived by his father, Bill; his mother, Vicki, his wife, Riikka, and his four children – sons Billy III, Sedric, Yonah and daughter, Avalon. The day Bill was killed was his 9th wedding anniversary.

Dying ain’t much of a living

There was a steady, light mist that was more annoying than anything else. With Johnny Cash playing as everyone pulled into NaFo, the chatter began and it never, ever stopped. YHC was fine with it since it was my first Q in many moons, and I exceeded my own expectations by remembering how to call in cadence.

I will fail miserably trying to recount all of the stories that were told, but perhaps I could list some of the many subjects:
Johnny Cash & June Carter
King Soloman
Taylor Swift
Jezebel
White Snake
Nate Bergatze
Clint Eastwood, his movies and his quotes
The 6th Sense
The comedic relief was welcomed with the steady light mist beating down on us. And we still got our work in.
