Major Jack G. Farr served in WWII, Korea and Vietnam. He was an F-105 fighter pilot who died trying to save the live of his wing man, Capt. William 'Bart' Barthelmas. He is being considered at this time (45 years later) for the Congressional Medal of Honor. He will always be my hero. Posted at VVMF on 7/11/12 - by Joan(Farr) Heffington

Jack Graham Farr was my hero, he was my father. I am the eldest of his sons. I was only nine years old when we lost him. My oldest son is now nine. He is so young and we have so much yet to share together. I will now get to experience the memories we missed from the Dad's perspective. I thank you Dad for your service, commitment, and sacrifice. I thank my Mother for raising five children on her own.Posted at VVMF on 2/28/07 - by Jack Vail Farr.

God Bless America.

I was only 5 when he died for his country, fighting a war that was not to be popular, 6 weeks from retirement after resigning for an extra two years to make a higher rank that was not to happen. I only remember three times that were spent with him, as I was so young and he was gone so much time. I miss him all the time and wish he were here today. It was when I was 8 years old that I went out to the porch of our new home that mom built for the 5 kids that he left behind, sat and waited for him to come home for a long time, and realized that Vatti want never coming home again, and started to cry. He had left many times before for a months at a time, but always came back with a big hug and kiss for his baby boy. I watch the home movies to help me remember the great times we had in the short time that I knew him. He will always be my hero, my Vatti, my memory, my loss.
