Honoring a Family Hero

A great grandson of John Harris and Orpha is a real American hero. U.S. Army Major John Dana "JD" Greer (Ret.)--John Jr.'s grandson--served in such units as the 5th Special Forces Group (Airborne) and suffered multiple severe injuries in the course of his service, including losing his right arm after being hit by a roadside bomb while serving in Iraq. He and his wife Ada are currently serving a military relations mission for the LDS Church in San Antonio, Texas.

This Veteran's Day, honor your Greer cousin's sacrifice for your freedoms by sharing his story with your family. The following link will take you to a short biography and a video interview with JD from the George W. Bush Presidential Center website: http://www.bushcenter.org/people/john-d-greer.
