Recipe: Shrimp and Corn Chowder
Honoring: SFC Jonathan Kilian Dozier (September 30, 1977 – January 9, 2008)
Recipe submitted by Amy Dozier, Wife
As a youth, Jon was a kind and loving brother and son. He had a tender heart and an adventurous (and maybe sometimes rebellious) spirit. Like many kids, Jon liked to play soldier in the woods behind his home. As he grew older, he was always surrounded by friends, usually at the water; he loved to swim and surf. Many weekends were spent with family on the Outer Banks of North Carolina.
Because of his love of playing soldier as a kid, Jon decided that he wanted to become a real one when he grew up. He selected the Infantry and wanted to be the very best. At age 20, he graduated as Soldier of the Cycle from his Training Company at the Infantry Training Brigade, Fort Benning Georgia. Later, he graduated from Jump School, became Sniper Certified, and completed Phase I of Special Forces Qualification Course.
