|John W. Dawson was born in Memphis, Tennessee. He and his family moved to Dickson, Tennessee when he was very young, spending time in Arkansas, Colorado, and Texas on his way to adulthood. In May of 1987, he made the decision to serve this great nation and enlisted in the United States Army as a helicopter repair technician, working on the venerable AH-1 Cobra. After graduating from AIT, he moved to Fort Drum, NY in January of 1988.
In February of 1990, he was transferred to South Korea and stationed at Camp Humphreys, near the South Korean city of Pyongtaek. John’s dedication and strong work ethic were quickly noticed, and he rose through the ranks, being selected to be a project leader for a comprehensive upgrade of the AH-1 helicopters across the Korean peninsula. In July of 1990, he met his wife, Kyong, and they were married in December. A year later, they had a son. In 1992, having cross-trained onto several different rotary platforms, John, Kyong, and their son moved back stateside, first stopping in Fort Lewis, WA for a brief time, and then on to Fort Carson, CO, where they added a beautiful daughter to their family. He deployed to Mogadishu, Somalia in January of 1994 as a crew chief for Black Hawk helicopters.
