Last Known Activity
Born on Dec 22, 1947, John Quincy Adam was a loadmaster aboard a C-130 transport aircraft as a member of the 41st Tactical Airlift Squadron from Ubon, Thailand and regularly flew missions all over Southeast Asia. On May 22, 1968, his aircraft disappeared over Laos. He was first reported as MIA along with other members of his flight crew and remained so until Nov 1968 when he was declared KIA. He was promoted up to CMSgt while in MIA status.
His remains were recovered in 2002 and identified in 2009.
After over 41 years, Mr. Adam finally returned home to his final resting place in Kansas City, KS. His sister requested the Patriot Guard honor this brave hero by escorting him to the funeral home and standing a flag line. Services were held July 27, 2009 at Chapel Hill Butler Funeral Home, 701 North 94th Street, Kansas City, KS.
