Comments: My dad, Orval "Jack" Cooper died in 1974 in Amarillo Texas. I have 2 children who do not have anything showing him or information about him such as photos, letters, anything. His brothers/sisters (my aunts and uncles) have refused to provide me with anything. I would like any photos or information that might be found. I would like something to show them about their "grandpa Jack".
Thank you.

Comments: Looking for anyone that knew Jack V. Peek, who retired as a Major USAF in 1965. He was a young soldier in the Phillipines in 1941-42 when the Japanese took that country. He was POW for over three years in Japan.After he retired he went to work for Garrett Engineering Co in Phoenix. He died Dec 8 1996 in Scottsdale Ariz. I am trying to locate his burial place among other things. Apparently he was a member of the 523FES.
