1st Lieutenant Jason D Mann
When I was in the Air Force I met Steve because I went on a weekend trip with a friend of mine. Erin and I were really good friends and she and her boyfriend Jason were going to Dallas for a long weekend trip just to have fun. Erin invited me to go with them. I initially said no because I didn't want to be a third wheel. Then she told me that it was okay because Jason was inviting a friend. Then I said no because I didn't want to go on a weekend trip with her and her boyfriend and a guy I didn't know. She eventually talked me into it and the rest is history. Married with a kid and another on the way. Thanks to Jason, I met my husband, the love of my life.
Jason was enlisted when I knew him. He eventually got engaged to Erin, but they never married and ended up going their separate ways. Jason got into a very competitive commissioning program. The Marine Corps paid for him to finish school and then made him an officer. He married and had a daughter.
I just found out that 1st Lieutenant Jason Mann was killed in Afghanistan on July 17th, 2008. It was not a combat death; a building collapsed on him.
Rest in peace, Friend.
