Jerry Singleton attended pilot training at Webb Air Force Base in Big Spring, Texas after graduating from the Air Force Academy. He then completed advanced helicopter training after which he was sent to Southeast Asia. There he was assigned to an Air Base in Northern Thailand flying rescue missions over North Vietnam. While on such a mission flying a CH-3C (Radio Call sign “Jolly Green”) on November 6, 1965, he was shot down over North Vietnam. After evading the enemy for five days he was captured by the North Vietnamese. Jerry was held as a prisoner of war in North Vietnam for more than seven years. He was released on February 12, 1973. Jerry then attended Dallas Theological Seminary and finished his Air Force career as a chaplain.

Military awards include Silver Star [2]; Legion of Merit; Distinguished Flying Cross [with “V” device); Bronze Star [3 with “V” devices]; Purple Heart [2]; and the Prisoner of War Medal. Upon retiring from the Air Force as a Lieutenant Colonel in 1985, Jerry attended graduate school in Accounting at the University of North Texas and became a CPA. He retired in 2002.
