Marine Cpl. Jacob 'Jake' Janes, 23, a 2004 Evansville graduate, recently visited war memorials and monuments in Washington D.C., when family members came to visit him there. Janes is recovering at Walter Reed Army Medical Center after having both his legs amputated from injuries suffered when he stepped on an improvised explosive device April 3 in Afghanistan. A spaghetti dinner benefit for Janes will be held Friday in Evansville.
