PFC Jace Thomas Kinton

Submitted by Tom & Sue Kinton

Branch of Service: Army PFC

We are so proud of our oldest grandson, PFC Jace Kinton. He graduated last spring from Mount Vernon High School and enlisted in the Army at age 18. He completed his basic training at Fort Sill, Oklahoma and will soon finish his advanced training there. He has matured so much since he enlisted. He has followed in the footsteps of many from his family who have served in the Army before him. Tom’s brother and Sue’s father both actively served in WWII and Sue’s grandfather served in WWI. Sue’s cousin, Bob Carter, lost his life while serving in the Army in Vietnam. We are proud of all those who have served in our family.
