President Wilshire
Thank you for your service, Alderman Dowd. Alderman Jette?
Alderman Jette
Yes thank you. | too would like to acknowledge all of our Veterans and | would also like to wish my wife a
Happy Birthday, she was a Marine in the air wing coincidentally. | joined the Army ROTC as a Freshman at
Boston College in 1963. When | graduated from College in 1967, | was Commissioned a Second
Lieutenant in the Transportation Corp. | was fortunate enough to delay my active duty during the height of
the Vietnam War which enabled me to go to Law School. When | graduated from Law School, | began my
active duty then in 1970.
After attending the Transportation Officer Basic Course, | was assigned to the Legal Assistance Office at
Fort Eustis Virginia, which was then the home of the Transportation Corp. Then | was very lucky, there was
a reduction in force and | was reassigned to the Reserves to a Transportation Reserve Unit here in
Nashua. One of my duties there was to develop an Emergency Evacuation Plan for the City, during my
time there. Then | was assigned to a Non-Commissioned Officer Academy, which is a school for non-
commissioned officers in Concord. Then | was assigned to a Ready Reserve Control Group until | was
discharged in 1977 with the rank of Captain. So thank you for acknowledging us and | appreciate it very
much. Thank you.
President Wilshire
Thank you for your service, Alderman Jette. And to all Veterans out there, thank you all for your service.
