 This
piece was a commissioned piece of "JJ" who is a noble
member of the
Warrior Canine Connection. JJ was named in
honor of United States Army Private First Class Jesse
Jack Martinez
Army Private First Class Jesse Jack Martinez was born in
Germany where his father Manuel Martinez Jr., was
serving in the Army. A 2002 graduate of Duncan-Russell
High School in Tracy, California, PFC Martinez hoped to
be a police officer when he left the service.
After enlisting in the Army with a desire to serve and
give back to his country, PFC Martinez graduated Fort
Benning, Georgia in August of 2003. He was assigned to
the 5th Battalion, 20th Infantry Regiment, 3rd Brigade,
2nd Infantry Division, at Ft. Lewis, Washington. A
member of the Stryker Brigade combat unit, PFC Martinez
deployed to Iraq on November 14, 2003.
On July 14, 2004 while serving during Operation Iraqi
Freedom, PFC Martinez was killed on his way to a
mission, when his Stryker vehicle rolled over as the
driver tried to avoid a gas tanker heading towards them.
He was 20 years old.
PFC Martinez’s mother Jan described her son by saying
that he was “A young man who wanted nothing more than to
make his country proud of him and a better place to
live.” “If Jesse was looking for his place in life, he
found it in what he was doing over there,” said his
commanding officer. It is with great pride that we name
WCC’s JJ in honor of United States Army Private First
Class Jesse Jack Martinez.
Special thanks to Susquehanna Service Dogs for their
support of their mission.
