Salute!
Attached is a photo of my children Jake (8.5) and Elyse (5.5) raising a glass for Mr. Jack. We drank to his love for God, his service to our country, the legacy he left behind for all of us with his children and his love for the BoSox!!(see Jake's jersey!!)

To Jack! In honor of Guard Support.
Editor's Note: Thanks to you, the Sword and Spoon Foundation has donated $50,000 to charity! This initiative is now complete.
He loved his country, helping others, the Red Sox, and ginger brandy. Join us as we raise a glass in his honor, and raise money for your favorite charity at the same time.
To celebrate the life of my Dad, we invite our friends in the SixSeeds family around the world to raise a glass and in his honor. But this is a toast with a twist. Every toast will provide financial support (up to $50,000) to military servicemen and families, and others in need.
You see, Dad loved his country and those who served it -- he also loved people generally, and always wanted to help those in need. So, for everyone who sends a picture or video of themselves toasting my Dad, the Sword & Spoon Foundation will send $100 to your favorite 501(c)(3) charitable organization supporting military personnel, or the poor. If you don’t have one -- we would be pleased to send $100 on your behalf to our own favorites Guard Support, or Roxbury Presbyterian Church’s Social Impact Center.
In addition to loving his country and helping others, he also loved his ginger brandy, whatever that is! (We won’t speculate which of these three he loved more.) We don’t care what you drink -- Coke, Diet Coke, 7-Up, apple cider, orange juice, Vitamin Water, Gatorade . . . (you get the picture!) . . . The particular drink doesn’t matter. The important fact is that you’re toasting Dad, and/or these good things -- love of country and people generally.
Some further information follows.
Why are you doing this?
We think this will be a fun way to combine helping others in need, and honoring my Dad . . . and we think he’d get a big kick out of this! If you are reading this, you’ve been touched in a small way by Jack’s life. We’d love for you to honor him through this toast, even if you didn’t know him personally.
How do you “toast” someone?
For those unfamiliar with toast-drinking ceremonies, here’s how! To make the toast, stand, raise a glass of your choice of drink and say the words “To Jack.” (Feel free to add something more personal after that intro, if you like. He loved God, country, the military, and history among other things. Read his eulogy here and here.) Then, take a sip, or swig if that’s more appropriate for your drink. Afterwards, you are of course welcome to enjoy the rest of your drink.
How do I get credit for my toast?
1. Take a photo of your toast -- or better yet a ten or fifteen second video with your phone! -- and e-mail it to Nancy@SixSeeds.org (kindly copy Jill@SixSeeds.org) between now and January 15th. In the accompanying e-mail, please tell us your name, location, the name of the charity you’d like the funds to go to, and the names/e-mail addresses of the people making the toast. (This will enable them to receive our free weekly e-zine, where they can see their toast!)
What other limitations apply?
The Sword & Spoon Foundation will donate in $100 increments up to $50,000. (As we rapidly approach the $50,000, we have a NEW Limit: $500 per charity, so the first 5 toasts will be credited to that organization.) If you do not have a favorite charity, please designate whether you’d like your $100 to go to Guard Support of Massachusetts or Roxbury Presbyterian Church. Any charity that supports military servicemen or those in need, and listed as a 501(c)(3) under these IRS guidelines is acceptable.

Over forty friends gathered to honor Jack's legacy to help pregnant women in need. As a special bonus, we believed that the song "Abide with Me" was very appropriate for the moment -- it was written three weeks before the author of the song passed away from tuberculosis and is a very powerful song about God's grace in the midst of death. We got permission from "Indelible Grace" to use their version of the song in this video.

I will lift atoast to Jack and send a picture if I can figure out how. Jack and I became roommates at Texas A&M in Sept. of 1956. He was a Yankee from Watertown Mass. and I was a Farm boy from Texas. What a combination. Our friendship has endured the years. it was great to visit with him at our 50th class reunion in April at Aggieland. By the way, Jack and I were way to young for the Korean War. We served during the Berlin Crisis and the Cuban missle Crisis. I lost a dear friend. Jack Elrod

To dearly departed Jack,
Although we never met, I know you through your son John and daughter-in-law Jean. We followed much the same track in life, state university, Army following a ROTC commission, loving family whom we taught lessons and virtues: the value of service and Patriotism, belief in a loving God, the freewill desire to help others in their time of need, successful children, loving grandchildren, and, of course, the value of leaving a memorable legacy that will stand the test of time. I only hope to have done half as well as you have.

A toast to Jack,
Jack was my math teacher back at Sedgewick Middle School.I was like most kids then, well, a bit worse. I spent most of my time in the office, but Jack always seemed to take an interest in my life. We reconnected years later when I came to faith in Christ and began missionary work with Young Life. He followed my path through seminary, to Africa, and back home to become a priest. Every time I saw Jack I felt proud, proud because he always looked at me with joy, amazement and gratitude for the work God had done in my life. He would shake his head and keep saying, it's a miracle. Jack loved the underdog, Jack loved Jesus. He just never gave up on people. I am deeply grateful for his friendship and support. What a guy. God bless
