Obituary
Send FlowersIn death, John J. Boria offered life to others. Boria, 29, of Broken Arrow, Okla., died Sept. 6 of injuries he suffered when a recreational all-terrain vehicle he was driving over sand dunes crashed near Doha, Qatar. He was based at Grand Forks. Boria was an organ donor and several of his organs were made available for others. "He was filled with valor and kindness. He was always doing something for somebody else," said family friend Marcia Allison. Boria graduated in 1993 from high school and his dreams of one day flying began to materialize when he joined the Air Force, graduating from the U.S. Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs in 1998. While at the academy, he and other classmates had a special inscription put inside their graduation rings: "A friend that sticks closer than a brother." At his funeral, the song "I Believe I can Fly" was played and old photos were shown capturing him as a schoolboy in a flight uniform that was much too big. He is survived by his parents, John and Wanda Boria.

I wear a bracelet from Memorial Bracelets I requested a fellow Air Force member. I wear my bracelet everyday and I finally started looking for Captain Boria. He is unknown to me ( as we never met ) but he is my brother.

The flag is flying in the sky
A daily reminder of who and why
We sit here remembering them today
These heroes that now lie in their grave.
While here on earth, the bravest ones
A soldier, a mother, a daughter, a son
The father's who went far off to war
To ensure our safety and so much more
To keep our children happy and free,
Someone must do this job, you see
So, today remember the soldiers who served,
Because this is one...

It has almost been 6 years since John passed and his memory is still with me as if it were yesterday. I was with John the day he died and I sat with him in the ICU. He was never alone. I am so sorry for you loss and want you to know John was good man who touched many people. He will not be forgotten.
