I am trying to do some research on Ira Jacobson, our namesake. I would like to build a memorial tribute to the man. I am having a hard time finding anything on him. All I know is that he was in the Army in World War I. If there is anyone in our reading audience who might have any information on him I would appreciate it. Anything I have I will publish on this web site. Stay tuned for news - I have information I will publish here about Ira Jacobson and the Machine Gun Squadron he was a member of.
