David Jacobson didn’t know much about his father’s service in Vietnam. This year, he began uncovering a story of battlefield heroism he had never fully known. Now he wants his father recognized for it. David Jacobson is seeking a posthumous Navy Cross for Navy corpsman Russell “Doc Jake” Jacobson, who passed away in 2015 from an Agent Orange-related illness.
