He immediately enlisted in the Navy and went to Pensacola , Florida for pilot training. John became a dive bomber pilot and was eventually deployed to the South Pacific aboard the carrier USS Randolph. He participated in many bombing raids on Japanese targets in the Pacific, including direct bombing of Tokyo in 1945.

What Autherine Hicks life meant to us Proverbs 31:10-31 Autherine's life was a reflection of the inner beauty of God's love showing through her Nursing Home Ministries, a soup route ministry delivering food to those shut in. Autherine also was faithful every year to help hand out the Christmas baskets and angel tree toys to those less fortunate. She was never one to complain or draw attention to herself. Meeting her you would never know all of the physical obstacles she encountered. She always had a smile when talking about God, from where she drew her strength. Which reminds me of the eagle...Autherine learned how to rely on God to keep her soaring above the physical problems. A very strong, spiritual woman who loved life and her family.
