The Star Spangled Salute is brought to you by
Today’s Star Spangled Salute honors Korean War Veteran Jack Eckenrode. At 94, Jack has competed in over a dozen of the games in cities across the country. He started back in 1994 when Pittsburgh hosted the Senior Games, and Pittsburgh is slated to host again in 2023. Jack competes in the cycling events. To train, he bikes 30 miles a day on a piece of property he purchased from a woman named Eleanor, who he later married. Now, she’s cheering him on, along with Jack’s 12 children, 41 grandchildren and 61 great-grandchildren. Good luck Jack and THANK YOU for your service.
