Today we remember our brother, MAJ Jason E. George, who was taken from us on this day in 2009. Be thou at peace, Jason.

Proceeds from the MAJ Jason E. George bracelet will be donated to the Jason George Memorial Foundation.
____________________________________________________
Jason Everett George was born November 3, 1970 in Bakersfield, CA, the son of Hugh and Candace Mason. He died on May 21, 2009. Jason’s biological fa­ther was Clyde George.

“JG” or “George” grew up in the high desert of California. As such, he loved the LA Dodgers, American cars, and wearing shorts, even in the coldest weather. He had a great smile and a charming and endearing personality that was a big hit with everyone, including members of the fairer s*x. JG pos­sessed a true sense of curious adventure and was genuinely unafraid to have fun at all times, even during stressful situations.

Today is the 16th anniversary of the untimely passing of US Army Major Jason E. George, KIA 5/21/2009, Baghdad, Iraq. In the wake of that loss, a group of people collectively formed a memorial foundation to honor JG’s memory, and create a legacy through the presentation of scholarships to outstanding Tehachapi High School students. The photo represents a few of the thank you notes from past recipients of the JGMF scholarships. To date, over $30,000 has been awarded, and in a few weeks, we will give out our 14th scholarship.

Did anyone lose their memorial bracelet in Tampa,FL? I was contacted by Tampa PD at the airport because the bracelet was unclaimed and going to auction or destruction. They are sending it to me and I will post photos when I have it in hand. DM if you know who it belongs to.
Thanks. JW

Congratulations to Jonathan Shugart, recipient of the 12th annual Jason E George Memorial Foundation scholarship. Along with being Senior Class President, Jonathan is a well rounded scholar athlete, holding a 4.4 GPA while taking multiple AP courses and playing on the golf team. He plans to attend UCLA to major in History which he intends to teach at the high school or college level.
While in Tehachapi, of course I also stopped by to visit JG. Included a couple of pics. Photos and post courtesy of Ed Marchall.

It is difficult to believe that today marks 14 years since the untimely passing of Major Jason E. George. Let us remember JG for his service, love, and friendship. He was one of a kind and a friend to all.

Hello everyone. As many of you have noticed, our page has been subject to a lot of spam postings. Our admins have been trying to keep up with deleting/reporting, but it may be time for a change. Many other group pages are experiencing the same. FB/Meta doesn’t seem to have a reliable method to solve this problem. Stay tuned for news shortly. We may be migrating to another platform where the admins can post news and updates for all to see, but be able to limit the amount of spam interaction with our page. We appreciate all of the support over the years. Thank you for helping to remember and honor JG.
