He was easily the top sergeant and was routinely given tasks normally reserved for SNCOs. Marines under his charge were always well organized and highly motivated directly due to his efforts.

Jerral "Jerry" Wayne Jones was born October 13, 1942, in Los Angeles, California. He is the owner and general manager of the Dallas Cowboys. As a co-captain of the 1964 National Championship Arkansas Razorbacks, Jones is one of a very small number of NFL owners who actually earned a significant level of success as football players. He is the only man in the history of the National Football League to play for a collegiate national championship football team and own a Super Bowl winner. A man of varied interests, who will not rest on yesterday’s achievements, he is a dedicated businessman and family man - sharing a vivid enthusiasm for both. Since he took over as general manager in 1989, the Cowboys have drafted 24 different players who have gone on to appear in a combined total of 85 Pro Bowls. Dallas has also signed nine free agent players who have made 22 Pro Bowl appearances while representing the Dallas Cowboys. Since 1989 the Cowboys have made 122 trades, the most celebrated of which was the 1989 deal that sent Herschel Walker to the Minnesota Vikings; and provided the personnel foundation for three league titles.

Moreover, Jones joined Art Rooney, Jack Kent Cooke, Al Davis, Eddie DeBartolo and Kraft as the only men to have won at least three Super Bowls as NFL owners.
