Johnny Joey Jones Speech at Sentinels of Freedom Annual Gala

Combat-wounded Staff Sergeant (Ret.) Johnny “Joey” Jones turned a traumatic, life-changing disability into a personal mission to improve the lives of all veterans. Johnny is a Sentinel and earned his bachelor's degree from Georgetown University. In fact, we have a slogan at Sentinels of Freedom, "Veterans Never Stop Serving" our nation and communities. And to showcase this, Sentinel Johnny Jones was a leader within his student body at Georgetown and co-founded the first veteran student organization at the school. Mike Conklin, the Chairman, and CEO of Sentinels of Freedom (SoF), started SoF in 2001 with an ad-hoc group of professional business people in order to create a citizen lead program to support severely wounded post 9-11 veterans. Due to its success the Sentinel like Johnny, SoF has helped over 700+ wounded and injured veterans onto a path of success with our Bridge for Education program.
