Today’s Star Spangled Salute honors Gold Star Veteran Jamie Jarboe, his widow Melissa and their family.
Staff Sergeant Jamie Jarboe completed 3 tours of duty and served 10 years, receiving many medals including a Purple Heart. Jamie was killed in action during a deployment to Afghanistan. His widow Melissa has committed herself to helping veterans. She is the founder and CEO of the Military Veteran Project which supports research and treatment for veteran suicide. A few days ago, Melissa was presented with a 2019 Chevy Equinox by the Kansas City Royals and their partners for her support. Thank you Melissa for your dedication and thank you Staff Sergeant Jamie Jarboe for your ultimate sacrifice.
