114th Aviation Company Reunion October 5-9 in Gettysburg, PA---The importance of what is happening as old soldiers gather in Gettysburg this weekend is magnified as the nation and the world mourns the loss of Steve Jobs, said Jackie Wright of Wright Enterprises. "It was with an Apple laptop that I was able to find out about my father's historical contribution and that of his fellow soldiers in Viet Nam, so I grieve with the Jobs Family, Apple and all those who love innovation and seeing vision fulfilled. I further realize soldiers past and present have kept this country safe so that people like the late Steve Jobs, Indra Nooyi, Larry Ellison, Paul Otellini, Lynn L. Elsenhans, scientists, businessmen, teachers and so many others can have the freedom to accomplish greatness because of the great sacrifice of the soldiers of this country. So the gathering of Viet Nam Vets in Gettysburg is very significant," stated Wright. Click Headline to Read More!
