Today, JJ’s Star Spangled Salute honors a member of “The Greatest Generation” – WWII Veteran Jim Black. Jim joined the Navy in 1942 and served on 3 submarines until he was honorably discharged in 1946. Jim has also been actively involved in his community including the dedication of the USS Scorpion Memorial on the Missouri River. Jim will turn 100 in about a month, but members of the US Submarine Veterans Inc. group in Sioux Falls, the USS Scorpion SS-278 Base organized the early birthday celebration for a fellow submarine sailor. Happy Birthday Jim and THANK YOU for your service.
