MAPE MEMORIAL PARK
Commander John "Jack" Clement Mape USN, was Dublin's first casualty of the Vietnam
War. A 40-year old father of seven, Mape lived in Dublin and was stationed in Alameda
Ca. He was assigned to Squadron VA-52 of the USS Ticonderoga in September, 1965. As
Commander, Mape led the VA-52 on a mission over Hanoi. On that day, April 13, 1966,
his plane was hit by a SAM missile. There were no survivors. Jack Mape was a true
American hero, one of Dublin's finest.
Rededicated August 23, 1997
By the City of Dublin
and
Joaquin Murrieta Chapter, E. Clampus Vitus
The plaque would be done in bronze and would be affixed to a rock monument which measures
approximately 5' by 5'. Attached is a copy of the master plan for the park. Staff would recommend that
the plaque be installed in an unlandscaped bedding area at the intersection of two pathways. Photos of the
area will be presented at the meeting. Staff had considered placing the plaque in the landscaped area
adjacent to the park sign, but this couldn't be accomplished without removing new bedding materials and
reconfiguring the irrigation in this area.
