Jeremiah O'Leary

Jeremiah O'Leary (d. 1993) was an American newspaper reporter and columnist.

He served as a U.S. Marine in the Pacific theater during World War II and fought in the invasions of New Britain, Guam and Peleliu. He also served in Korea during the Korean War.

After the war, he was a reporter for the "Washington Star-News" (later called the "Washington Star"), focusing on defense and foreign policy issues. When the "Star" folded in 1981, O'Leary joined the Reagan Administration as press secretary for National Security Advisor William P. Clark, Jr. Soon after the founding of the "Washington Times" in 1982, he joined that paper as a White House correspondent, became president of the White House Correspondents Association [http://www.reagan.utexas.edu/archives/speeches/1988/042188d.htm] , and ended his career writing a weekly column focused on nostalgic reminiscences of the past.

He died of complications from cardiovascular disease.
