Jim Canup of Braidwood served in the Marines during the Vietnam War. Now, he gives back to his fellow veterans as the Braidwood American Legion Koca Post 39 Commander.
Military service was a family tradition for Jim Canup. At one time, his grandmother had six stars in her window to show how many men from her household were serving. “My father was in World War II and all of his brothers served in various branches of the Navy and Army,” Canup, a Braidwood resident, said. Canup, now the commander of the American Legion Koca Post 39 in Braidwood, enlisted in the Navy Reserves
