Jennings native retires after 29 years of Louisiana National Guard service
After spending 29 years in a military career, Sgt. Maj. John Bonin has retired. He was recently honored during a ceremony at Jackson Barracks in New Orleans.
“After my first semester in college, I was looking to alleviate some of the financial burden on my parents having to pay my tuition,” said Bonin. “I figured I’d try to help and joining the Louisiana National Guard sounded like the right thing to do.”
