Tech Sergeant John Jacobus, co-owner of Squish Burger in Mounds, Oklahoma, is being deployed out of the country by the Air National Guard and was given a going away party by friends and relatives.
John says his wife Charlene, who along with John, owns and operates the restaurant, will take over while he is deployed. The Tech Sergeant wasn’t allowed to say where he was being deployed and said he did not know the length of his deployment.
Among the guests were John’s wife’s Great Uncle Eddie Beasley, and his wife Connie. Beasley has written a book titled: “Lucky Enough,” which chronicles his life entertaining the Marine Corp, his tour of duty and meritorious service in Vietnam in the mid-sixties, and his life after his tragic encounter with a landmine in the Jungles of Vietnam. In his book, he details how he met his wife Connie, and how he adapted and overcame the physical challenges that faced him.
Also, present was Town Trustee Tim McNabb, who owns the building that houses the restaurant.
“My two-year, three-year, three-year-five-year plan is to make Main Street (Commercial) retail only to help the tax dollars in the Town of Mounds.
Anyone wanting to show appreciation to Eddie or John is encouraged to stop in at Squish Burger in downtown Mounds and have a delicious hamburger or delicious pizza.
