Friday October 20 marks the one year anniversary of the death of Chief Petty Officer Jason Finan who died in Mosul fighting for our country. Jason's family lives in Lake Forest and beginning Friday their neighbors will have a memorial table at the corner of Elmcrest and Johnstone where you can come by and offer some comfort to the family whose son made the ultimate sacrifice.
Since enlisting in the Navy in 2003, Finan trained in explosive ordnance disposal and as a naval parachutist, an enlisted surface warfare specialist and a diver, according to a Navy spokeswoman. Finan’s 18 awards and decorations included the Navy-Marine Corps Commendation with Combat V, the Army Commendation Medal and the Joint Meritorious Unit Award, among several others.
