A
B
You
when
you
look
back
to
that
tragic
Tuesday
of
August
16
1988
when
we
lost
Jackie,
we
look,
we
lost
a
woman
that
meant
so
very
very
much
to
so
many
her
life
was
a
life
of
service
to
others,
and
that's
why
I
today's
ceremony
so
very
very
important.
It's
very
important
that
we
say:
Thank,
You,
Jackie,
Jackie's,
Jackie's
life
and
her
public
service
and
her
memories.
B
Well,
they
live
on
in
each
one
of
us
that
wear
this
uniform
and
in
served
the
public
every
day
and
now,
as
people
pass
up
and
down
interstate
395,
they
will
come
to
know
her
as
well
and
and
what
it
will
tell
them.
They
won't
know
the
details
of
what
happened
here
and
what
happened
to
Jackie,
but
they'll
know
about
her
sacrifice
and
they'll
know
that
somebody
very
special
was
here
I.
C
Wanted
to
tell
you
a
little
bit
about
Jackie,
she
was
not
satisfied
being
different.
As
a
result,
she
constantly
took
jobs
traditionally
set
aside
for
men.
Jacket
believed
that
she
could
do
anything
and
she
frequently
found
herself
fighting
against
tradition
and
society
in
her
life.
How
many
times
did
she
hear?
One
person
can
fight
the
system.
One
vote
doesn't
matter,
one
person
doesn't
matter,
one
simply
is
not
enough.
C
Society
has
forgotten
the
power
of
one
because
it
said
one
tree
can
start
a
forest.
One
vote
can
change
a
nation,
one
star
can
God
a
ship.
One
touch
can
show
you
care
and
yes,
one
life
can
make
a
difference.
Think
not
look
around.
You
look
at
all
the
people
whose
life
has
been
touched
by
Jackie,
a
young
girl
who
struggle
all
her
life
to
be
significant.
C
Until
one
day
she
put
on
the
gray
of
a
fazenda
state
trooper
and
her
life
was
forever
transformed,
but
then
came
the
unthinkable
cut
down
at
her
prime
of
her
life.
The
end
of
watch
came
in
the
morning
of
August
eighteenth
1988,
as
she
struggled
for
recognition
in
life.
So
she
struggled
again
for
recognition
and
death
27
years
and
10
days
since
the
end
of
watch.
However,
today
we
we
gather
together
to
celebrate
the
life
of
one
trooper
Jackie
Vernon.
C
A
Jaclyn
vernon
broke
barriers
and
devoted
her
life
to
serving
others.
First
in
the
military,
then,
as
a
police
officer
and
state
trooper,
you
can
read
more
about
her
on
our
newsroom
site
and
see
the
new
sign
in
her
honor
along
I
395,
as
teens
head
back
to
school,
they
can
take
the
bus
or
metro
with
the
new
