After high school John served in the U.S. Army.  He graduated from the Parachute School at Ft. Benning, G.A. and was then a paratrooper, expert rifleman, and communications man during WWII.

He received the American Service Medal, Asiatic Pacific Service Medal, Good Conduct Medal, and WWII Victory medal.  He was one of the true heroes of WWII who fought to the war's end and helped preserve our freedoms.
