Dear Jack Jr and Ryan O'Neil,
It is with Immense sorrow that I write to inform you that, your father Jack A. O'Neil Senior, was pronounced deceased during his service aboard the Ulysses S. Grant, under the 112th Morita Battalion, Alpha Company, First Platoon. As your fathers commanding officer, I can say without hesitation that he served not only the 6th fleet, but those appointed below and above him with great honour, courage, and duty. On several occasions, your father stepped above the call, raising his head above the horrors of war, in order to ensure the safety and well being of his soldiers. Whilst I cannot divulge specifics of your fathers passing, I can say without a shadow of a doubt, that he was not only a dear friend to many in the his platoon, but a hero, above all else.
Your father will live in on in the hearts of many, and will forever act as a role model to this battalion.
Please accept my most sincere condolences for the passing of your father.
Sincerely yours,
Executive Officer, Alpha Company, 112th Morita Battalion.
