Having made several passes over the city before landing, the war plane drew a large crowd of spectators and the plane was immediately cordoned off because it was combat-ready except for the bombs that would be loaded into the bay of the bomber later. The crew proceeded on to their base in England and were immediately sent into action. Jewell completed 29 missions, rose to the rank of Major and was retired after being seriously wounded on the outskirts of Berlin. Having earned the Distinguished Service Cross, the Distinguished Flying Cross with two clusters, the Air Medal with five clusters, the Silver Star with one cluster, and the Purple Heart, he continued his interest in the military and was instrumental in helping to establish the Veterans Memorial at Centerville, Pa.
He was a member of Bethel United Methodist Church where he was active in the Sunday School, Official Board, and other church activities. He was a member of the Elks, Grange, Moose, Kiwanis, and Cumberland Valley Veterans Association. He was very active in the community, state and national affairs.
