John saw the need for a Chapter of the Viet Nam Veterans of America in.the area. He single handedly began Chapter 925 in 2003. The group currently has 100 members. Johns hobbies were wood finishing, playing the drums (he loved music), shooting at the Francis Marion range, reading books about the American Revolution (on which he was an expert). John will be buried at Arlington National Cemetary at a future date to be announced. There will be a Service in the Chapel, performed by a Military Chaplain. As John was in love with his God, and the military, this was his final wish. In lieu of flowers, you may kindly send a contribution to the Grand Strand Humane Society in Myrtle Beach.
