Subject: All other military veterans among Harvard alumni (H-1927 to present)

Harvard graduates have a long proud history of serving as warriors in the United States military. An illustrative sample of the documented % of military veterans in various Harvard College classes includes: H-1937 (70%); H-1939 (87%); H-1960 (66%); H-1942 (85%); H-1943 (88%); H-1944 (89%) and H-1963 (23%). During the Korean War, 60% of the Harvard classes served in the US military. The purpose of developing the subject is not for egotistic self promotion but to reinforce the general awareness that freedom is not free. Harvard undergraduates in particular as well as others should be aware and appreciate that many Harvard alumni before them paid a price in time, blood and restricted earning for our national security and liberty. Such military veterans at one point of their life wrote a blank check made payable to the USA for an amount up to and including their own life. All gave some and some gave all. If you or a relative are a Harvard alumnus and veteran, please send your military focused biographic write up and photo to Captain Paul E. Mawn USN (Ret.) at the above e-mail address. Please use a similar format as in the below entries.

1. HARVARD COLLEGE by CLASS (continued)

The USS Bristol County was a 1970’s vintage LST with a "clipper bow" (unlike it's flat-bowed WWII predecessors) which enabled it to steam at 20+ knots in open seas but still retained the flat bottom required for beaching. As a result, many ship drivers have discovered that this class of ship provided some of the most interesting ship handling experiences in the Navy (i.e. navigating a 560-ft ship in 15-ft of water or less at times) as well as stomach-churning rolls in stormy seas! Despite these challenges, John qualified as an Officer of the Deck (underway), Tactical Action Officer as well as an Engineering Officer of the Watch. During his Desert Storm deployment, the amphibious task force including the USS Bristol County passed through the Philippine Islands just as Mount Pinatubo erupted. As a result, the USS Bristol County played a key coordination role in “Operation Fiery Vigil” evacuating over 8,500 civilians from Luzon down to Cebu. During this time, John personally led the Navy efforts directing evacuees on the island of Cebu for five sleepless days and nights which resulted in his above noted Navy Commendation Medal. After his release from active duty in the Navy, John initially accepted a position in the Procter & Gamble brand management program in Cincinnati. He subsequently moved back to San Diego where he eventually became the Executive Vice President for Corporate Development with Connors Brothers Income Fund and its U.S. based operating company, Bumble Bee Seafoods. John later accepted the position as President and Chief Executive Officer of Distant Lands Trading Company. In 2006, John joined a leading private equity firm, Centre Partners Management, in their Los Angeles office where he is now a Senior Operating Partner. John currently serves as a Director of Bellisio Foods, Distant Lands Trading Company, Orion ICG LLC and Taylor Precision Products Inc.
