Capt. John E. 'Jack' Duffy, USAF
I am honoring Capt. Jack Duffy, USAF. Maine natives, Jack and I were Academy classmates (1968), but more than that, we were close friends. Through two years in the same cadet squadron, and overlapping pilot training classes, we enjoyed the many good times and endured the bad. The tough kid from Munjoy Hill was a 4-year wing boxing champ, and a true warrior. I took him to meet his flight to Viet Nam, and he was killed in his O-2 FAC aircraft April 4, 1970.
