Jack Shanabrook, who is now a member of the Milltown American Legion, mans the gunline on board the USS Brush, a U.S. Navy destroyer in the Gulf of Tonkin in Vietnam, in 1968. Shanabrook’s wife Kathy says he will always be a hero to the family, including their son and daughter, and five granddaughters. As Veterans Day approaches, Greater Media Newspapers is asking readers to submit photographs of their family members serving in the armed forces. Readers may submit photos via email to www.gmnews.com/submitphoto. Please provide information including names and towns of those pictured and what they are doing. Photos should be JPG files, at least 4 by 6 inches and 200 DPI, and we will publish the best submissions in future editions. READER-SUBMITTED PHOTO BY KATHY SHANABROOK
