Command Sergeant Major John Guerra (US Army Ret.), passed away April 13, 2013 in St Petersburg, FL. He went into the Coast Guard at 16 years of age which began his military career. A decorated war veteran, he served in WW II, the Korean War, and the Vietnam War. He was a great, war hero, defending the freedom of the United States of America that he loved and having no regard for his own life or safety, in order to save the men he was in charge of. He was a fair leader and his men came first. He was a man's man. John Guerra was a great man, a loving husband and father, whose family's needs always came before his needs and comfort. After his retirement from active duty, he worked as an ROTC instructor at Christian Brothers Academy in Albany NY. He moved to Florida after he retired.
