John was a soldier, a warrior, a veteran and a friend. His dedication to veterans needs went beyond the call of duty. John has joined in on his "Last Patrol" with many other proud Vietnam Brothers. "If it be my lot to die, let me do it with courage and honor!" Rest in peace my brother!

Today and always, may loving memories bring you peace, comfort and strength .
