We Salute William Edward Jones. Staff Sergeant William Edward Jones, a Vietnam Veteran originally from Millsboro, Delaware, demonstrated extraordinary bravery and dedication during his service. Serving with the 101st Airborne Division, notably in the "Geronimo" 2nd Battalion, 501st Infantry Regiment, Jones's commitment was steadfast. On his second tour in Vietnam, he tragically fell to enemy fire on July 14, 1970, after only 26 days in-country. His heroic actions earned him multiple commendations, including the Silver Star Medal, the Bronze Star Medal, and the Purple Heart with an Oak Leaf Cluster, among others. Staff Sergeant Jones's name is honored on the Vietnam Memorial Wall in Washington D.C. We salute his service and remember his sacrifice as an enduring part of our nation's history. Spicer Bros. and CoastTV are honoring military persons and first responders serving Delmarva.
