John Masson, our hero, our friend, sacrificed 3 extremities in Afghanistan, for their freedom, as well for The United States of America - Land of the Free - Home of the Brave. His courage and dedication for our country allows all to sleep in peace at night which goes way beyond our call of duty. Along with our appreciation of all of the Armed Forces, sometimes our freedom comes at the price of death as we are so thankful that John is still here alive today. Despite the severity of his of his injuries - John said, "I will walk again". If anyone knows him personally - HE WILL!!!
