Veteran: James T. “J.T” Cox

James T. “J.T” Cox joined the military because of his sense of duty to his country and to fight against communism. He recalls boot camp as stressful yet a time he’ll never forget. “I met so many new people and reached goals I didn’t think were possible,” he said.

Cox served mainly in Korea and at sea. His rank of petty officer second class allowed him to work with technical and communications equipment and teach younger seaman all about technology. He earned the Korean Service and Good Conduct medals. Cox said everyone he met in the military was special. He recalls the times when mess tables collapsed because of heavy seas.

“The tables, food and men were all in one pile. It was an ugly situation. “Being in the military made me a better person, and it taught me discipline. I became a more responsible citizen. “My wife, Joyce, has supported me in my endeavors in veterans organizations.
