Colonel Jay R. Vargas dedicated his life to the United States Marine Corps.  His defining moment came during the Vietnam War's Battle of Dai Do in 1968, where he served as a company commander.  Vargas displayed exceptional leadership and courage, earning him the Medal of Honor, the highest military decoration in the U.S.  After Vietnam, he continued his military service, holding various command and staff positions until his retirement in 1992.  Colonel Vargas's illustrious career is marked by a legacy of valor, selflessness, and an enduring commitment to the principles of duty and valor.
