Listeners – It is the Mission of the John P. Connors
Memorial Fund to tell the story of LTJG John P. Connors, US Navy. John was a
teammate, classmate, friend, son, brother, and a US Navy SEAL. He was Killed in
Action on Dec 20, 1989, as a member of SEAL TEAM 4 and we want to tell the story
of a kid from Scituate MA who served his country and sacrificed his life so his
teammates could complete their Mission.
We will cast and design a larger-than-life statue of John to
be installed on the Town Common in his hometown of Scituate MA.
Why are we doing this – John’s story is the story of our
Nation. One person’s courage can make a difference in your community, school,
and SEAL Team. It is the story of a Scholar, Athlete, and Leader who we honor by
our Mission. It is the story of all the citizens of this Nation who serve a higher purpose.
