Ep 1: 1st Marine Corps Medal of Honor Recipient, John Freeman Mackie / Recon Jack

Welcome to the very first episode of Recon Jack. I’m your host, U.S. Marine veteran and historian, Chuck Lynch. What better topic for this introductory episode, than to talk about the very first United States Marine recipient of the Medal of Honor, American Civil War veteran, John Freeman Mackie?

I’m always open to suggestions, and I will likely cover a few Marine family members of some of you subscribers in the near future. I really enjoy interacting with you folks and seeing the growth of this channel; so please do not hesitate to send an email to [email protected] if you’d like for me to honor you or your Marine unit, or a Marine friend or family member.
