was a United States Marine who received the Medal of Honor for his actions on Peleliu during World War II. PFC Jackson single-handedly destroyed 12 enemy pillboxes and killed 50 enemy soldiers. He was also the last surviving recipient of the Medal of Honor from the Battle of Okinawa.
On September 30, 1961, while serving at the Guantanamo Bay Naval Base, Jackson fatally shot Rubén López Sabariego, a Cuban worker at Guantanamo and suspected communist spy, in self-defense after Sabariego allegedly made a failed attempt to steal Jackson's weapon. Sabariego's body was later discovered after an attempt to hide his body in a shallow grave proved unsuccessful.
