November 20, 2024 -- John Meyer: Today we
rendered our final salute to MACV-SOG Green Beret Jon C. Potter, who ran
top secret missions across the fence into Cambodia during the
eight-year secret war fought during the Vietnam War. Jon served at CCS
during his tour of duty where he was a highly respected officer.
Jon was laid to rest today next to his loving wife Anna in the Middle
Tennessee State Veterans Cemetery in Pegram, Tennessee. She passed away
several years ago following an heroic battle with cancer.
Rendering the final salute from left: Tom Laning, recently retired SF
soldier from the 5th Special Forces Group, John Stryker Meyer, an SF SOG
recon team leader and former 5th Special Forces Group veteran, and
Lloyd Carpenter, a medically retired Green Beret. Additionally, two
Green Berets representing the 5th Special Forces Group based at Ft.
Campbell, Ky, joined in the final salute to Jon C. Potter as friends and
family members gathered at his final resting place.
Jon C. Potter was a member of the Special Operations Association,
founded by SOG veterans whose membership ranks include aviators from the
South Vietnamese Air Force, 219th Special Operations Squadron, the US
Air Force’s 20th Special Operations Squadron, Marine Corps HML-367
(Scarface), the 176th Muskets, the 101st Airborne Aviation Battalion and
the 1st Cav, to name a few SOA members today.
