The Florida state flag flies proudly atop the
hill. As Sgt. Joseph M. Jones was reading his mail, Gunny D'Armand
brought Dave Powell down and told Sgt. Jones he was gong to make him famous.
Sgt. Jones said, "I thought he was trying to get me shot by a sniper.
This photo was in newspapers across the country and some very thoughtful
people sent clippings to my mom. The captions of the Flown
Off/Blown Off article had my name, and home town of Chattahoochee,
Fl. Chattahoochee is a small town and my mom got the clippings addressed
to, 'the Mother of Sgt. Joseph M. Jones, Chattahoochee, Fla.' He
did make me famous!"
