Robert Jeter, of Akron, Ohio was drafted into the United States Marine Corps in 1952 during the Korean War. He left his job at Firestone Tire & Rubber Company in Akron, Ohio and went to basic training at Parris Island, South Carolina.
Bob was later stationed at Camp Lejeune, North Carolina. He enjoyed playing on the football team at Camp Lejeune. He also traveled to Vieques Island, Puerto Rico while in the Service. In Infantry, Bob drove two kinds of trucks and was supervisor of the Motor Pool and was in charge of the trucks. Robert received an *Honorable Discharged at the rank of *Sergeant in 1954. He then returned to life in Akron, Ohio and resumed his employment at Firestone where he was employed for a total of 31 years.
President Obama paid Tribute today to our Veteran’s of the Korean War on the 60th Anniversary of the Korean War Armistice. According to the Dept. of Veteran Affairs, there are 2 million Veteran’s of the Korean War living today. “Your lives hold lessons for us today,” Obama told the crowd gathered at the Korean War Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C. The Korean War taught the nation to remain prepared militarily, to honor and care for its veterans and the families of the fallen, and to “stand as one,” Obama said. The nation’s first African-American president pointed out that Korea was the first war the U.S. fought with integrated units, and he pledged to keep the American military the best in the world. As Obama noted, the Korean War — fought from 1950 to 1953, squeezed between the triumphalism of World War II and the traumas of Vietnam — too often fades from view in American history. “No monument will ever be worthy of their service, and no memorial will fully heal the ache of their sacrifice,” Obama said in the proclamation. “But as a grateful nation, we must honor them — not just with words, but with deeds.”
Over the years Bob has also been an avid golfer belonging to the Tiretown Golf Club and traveling around the United States teeing off at various Country Clubs. Earlier this month Bob was saluted by his Golf Club at their Annual Banquet at the Country Club as one of the three oldest members of the Golf Club. The event was well attended with the Mayor of Akron, Donald L. Plusquellic present at the event as well as Bob’s nephew, Michael Lee, who is also a member. Bob is sorry he will be unable to attend this year’s Family Reunion.
