ORIGINATED THE GOLD STAR
Medal Showing Appreciation Of the
Idea 10 Presented to J. M.
Buck Of Omaha, Neb.

A medal purchased with funds given
by the governors Of many states, Gen.
eral Pershing and a hundred notables
in civil and military circles, has been
presented to j. M. Buck Of Omaha,
Neb., who originated the gold star
which was placed on the caskets of all
war dead to be returned to, this coun-
try from European battlefields.
Omaha was distributing point for
the United States graves registration
service. After the federal agency be-
gan to return bodies from overseas,
thousands of caskets passed through
Omaha. Mr.. Buck suggested to the
Omaha American Legion that a gold
star be placed on each soldiers casket.
The Legion Immediately accepted the
idea and through the Legion's organi-
zation, the custom Of placing the star
on all soldiers caskets in all parts of
the United States was adopted.
Every contingent. of soldier dead ar
irving at Omaha was met at the rail-
way station by delegation from the
American Legion. Mr.. Buck always
accompanied the Legionnaires and su.
pervised the placing of the stars on
the caskets. The medal was presented
Mr.. Buck as an expression of appreci.
alton of his work. s

his was the most interesting role
played by any member Of the A. E. F.
after the armistice. When President
Wilson went to France the story of
his activities was photographed by
Captain Jackson. Whether the presi-
dent shook hands with European
soldier, signed an important paper or
had dinner with king, Captain Jack
son was there with his camera.
Today, the official photographs
taken by Captain Jackson and his
staff are to be found in galleries, libra
ries, public buildings and private
homes in every part of the United
States. Mr.. Jackson, no longer a cap
