The grassroots effort to honor Oakland Park's hometown hero Jaco Pastorius with a park is a reality. Our next quest is to see Jaco honored in a way reserved for Americans who have truly made an impact on the world: a commemorative postage stamp. Please sign the petition. When people around the world learn about the World's Greatest Bass Player, they also learn about Oakland Park.
