mar·tyr   /ˈmɑrtər/ Show Spelled[mahr-ter]
–noun
1.a person who willingly suffers death rather than renounce his or her religion.

I think this explains just what Jack was and is. A true person who is willing to do not just what he could, but what he couldn't as well. All the way til death, up to his last day. He is a true representation of a soldier fighting for a cause. we miss you Jack. Your memory is and will always be with us all. RIP JACK
