Jesse Marcel

In July of 1947, Jesse Marcel, Jr., was a typical eleven-year-old boy who witnessed events that were anything but typical. He grew up to become a physician, a military surgeon, a pilot, a husband, a father, and a grandfather. Throughout his life, however, and despite many adventures of his own, he remains the son of an honorable man, and the product of circumstances that some find difficult to believe.
