Buck Jones was a high school student and athlete consumed with the
patriotic desire to join the military to help defeat the enemy in
World War II. Upon graduation in 1942 from Mineola High School on
Long Island he enlisted in the marines. When his patrol plane was
shot down over the Pacific, the family was notified that the entire
crew was missing in action and presumed dead. One person refused to
accept that determination as final. Buck's mother, Lena, told him
before he left home that he would survive the war and return home
safely. She continued to pray that he would live and not for an
instant did her faith waver. Buck, using his intelligence and
following an inner voice, not only survived on an island in the
Pacific but dealt a severe blow to the Japanese war effort. He
returned home to a few surprises.
