HM3 Jerrah M. Heard
HM3 Jerrah M. Heard USCGC Valiant (WMEC 621) Galveston, TX 1974-75 Jerrah
"Doc" Heard crossed the bar last year. He was the living embodiment of a
good ol' boy. His wry wit and razor-sharp Texas-sized sense of humor kept
everyone in stitches. He joined the U.S. Navy to avoid going to Vietnam
and they promptly sent him there as a corpsman with a U.S. Marine Long
Range Recon Team (he didn't talk about that much). He loved Willie
Nelson, John Prine, beer and the Texas Hill Country. His wife Carol
and all his shipmates miss him like hell. Rest easy ol' buddy.
