Today, with 20 of his fellow Ancients including the Captain Commanding and 4 past Commanders and 4 of his fellow Doughboy Sergeants, we laid to rest Doughboy Sergeant Lt Col John O. Harris at the National Cemetery in Borne. John flew over 100 combat missions as a fighter pilot during the Vietnam War.

John is now flying sorties with his old Squadron Commander and triple ace COL Robin Olds.

Rest easy John, your tour of duty has ended.

Rest in Peace Lt Col John O. Harris. A great friend, Ancient, and patriot. 🇺🇲

Each was posthumously awarded the Distinguished Service Cross and Purple Heart along with a special medal created by Congress as they were not engaged in combat and thus not eligible for the Medal of Honor (which they were nominated for).

Please take a moment today to honor their memory and sacrifice.
