Private First Class Douglas T. Jacobson, Marine Corps. was awarded the MEDAL OF HONOR.
"For conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty while serving with the Third Battalion, Twenty-Third Marines, Fourth Marine Division, in combat against enemy Japanese forces during the seizure of Iwo Jima in the Volcano Islands, February 26, 1945.
By his dauntless skill and valor, Private First Class Jacobson destroyed a total of sixteen enemy positions and annihilated approximately seventy-five Japanese, thereby contributing essentially to the success of his division's operations against the fanatically defended outpost of the Japanese Empire. His gallant conduct in the face of tremendous odds enhanced and sustained the highest traditions of the United States Naval Service."

The Doug Jacobson Residents Fund is a charitable organization registered with the IRS and the State of Florida. 95% of our revenues go directly to services for the veterans.
The Board is comprised of 12 members, most of whom are veterans or who have family members that have served in the armed forces.
The Board members are unpaid volunteers who work to raise funds for the Veterans Home and perform community outreach to educate the community about the Fund.
Despite the limitations imposed by the COVID pandemic, the Fund worked with the Administration of the Veterans Home to provide exercise programs with the purchase of CD's and supplied food for July 4th celebrations.
