Her mother didn’t even know she was serving in Vietnam. It was a secret that Air Force Captain Jane Lombardi kept so her mom wouldn’t worry that she was in harm’s way. Her service was noted in a special way on Saturday night, as brother Joe, along with multiple family members and friends, celebrated the dedication of a room at the Stanislaus Veterans Center on Coffee Road in Modesto in her memory.
