“A true national treasure and a prime example of the American dream realized. Imagine from homeless status to heroic combat warrior in a couple years...an astonishing representation of will, perseverance and patriotism. An inspiration to many, 25 years of USAF service and a 45 year successful private sector career...retiring at 90! His wisdom, sharp wit and heritage intrigued us all and we eagerly bent our ears when he spoke. God Bless and Godspeed John “Beanie” Beard.”
