Jeremiah Mendez

Jeremiah Mendez was a member of the United Nations military and a veteran of the Rain Forest Wars. He was the author of A Soldier's Tale: Rainforest Wars, which was considered a military classic by the 26th century. He was most likely an ancestor of Senior Chief Petty Officer Franklin Mendez, the veteran drill instructor of the SPARTAN-II and SPARTAN-III programs, who greatly admired the book.
