Jerry Rainey was veteran of the Korean War and Vietnam where he served as a SF Medic on several "A" Teams. He was a past President of Chapter IX, as well as a close friend to Chapter namesake Isaac Camacho. Jerry's focus on helping others, and thinking of himself last, prompted the Chapter three years ago to develop and financial support a scholarship in his name. Read Jerry's bio here.
