I'm the author of four books: Warrior SOS, The Work of Death, Together Forever, and Leaders Wanted. I'm in the doc film Please Remove Your Shoes. I've blogged for The Washington Times, and I write for Guns.com. I've worked for the high-profile U.S.-led Roadmap to Mideast Peace in Israel and Palestine. I've also worked as a SWAT team leader, a Federal Air Marshal and a sole-source training instructor on a classified contract with a U.S. government customer. My master's degree is in Military Studies and terrorism. I'm a former noncommissioned and commissioned Army officer, with service in Iraq. I've been Scuba diving and skydiving; I have trained with members of the U.S. Olympic Ski Team, and I'm an FBI-trained crisis negotiator. My interests lie in helping others and in strengthening America through inspiring moral courage, government fiscal responsibility and accountability, and maintaining principles that have made--and will continue to make--the United States of America a blessed and prosperous country. I'm a father of six, a husband, and a police officer. I reside in Utah, and I'm a Mormon. See also https://jeffreydenning.wordpress.com.

Triple limb amputee...




John Masson's Special Forces teammates returned from Afghanistan. He waited to get awarded the purple heart for losing both his legs and an arm after stepping on a land mine. He wanted to be with his team in Fort Bragg.

Warrior SOS received a note that John hugged his teammate and shared his love for them. Such love among brothers could most certainly make soft hearts of any experienced soldier.

Here's a video link to an amateur video of his homecoming from Walter Reed, fitted with another arm so he can use the wheel chair. http://usoonpatrol.org/archives/2011/01/28/john-masson-a-heros-homecoming

The photo above is from a Hawks game John was invited to. They incorrectly stated he was a double amputee, but regardless, what a wonderful thing the Black Hawks did to honor him. We hope there are many more hero "Thank You's" like that!

Here's the video from the sports center: http://video.blackhawks.nhl.com/videocenter/console?id=109820
