About Me, John

Hello Peggy, it’s nice to meet you. Let me give you some background information on me. I am originally from Lynn, Massachusetts. I grew up poor in a proud family of twelve children with a dedicated mother. I quit high school at age sixteen. At age seventeen I joined the United States Army. Eventually, I became a paratrooper and was assigned to Fort Bragg, NC. I was part of the multinational invasion force during Desert Storm and received a Bronze Star for excelling in combat operations against hostile Iraqi forces. Other military awards I received before retiring from the United States Army after 19 years and reaching the rank of Staff Sergeant in April 1, 1994 are the Meritorious Service Medal, two Army Commendation Medals, four Army Achievement Medals and four Good Conduct Medals. After I retired I served honorably as a North Carolina Correctional officer. In 1977 I self taught and received my GED. During 2001 to 2004 I attended Fayetteville State University in North Carolina and received my Bachelors of Science in Accounting, graduating Magna Cum Laude. I am single and I plan to stay that way. I was married and have two daughters. I think it’s appropriate that members of Love Has Won know what I am all about. I am a spiritual warrior! I will always if called upon fight to the death in defense of the United States of America without hesitation and without judgement and without question. With great love, namaste, everybody.
