OkieRA29 Posted January 21, 2013 Report Share Posted January 21, 2013 Jake McNiece, the leader of the 'filthy thirteen' passed away today. He was 93. The filth thirteen is thought to be the inspiration for the film 'The Dirty Dozen' I have done several stories at the TV station on Jake, here is one I saw Jake as recently as 6 months ago when he received the French Legion of Merit for his service in WWII. He was still as quick as a whip and still fighting. Sad to lose another one. Quote Link to comment
