My friend John Golden was laid to rest today. He led an interesting life and was a true American patriot.
John joined the FBI in 63 and was responsible for receiving the bodies and cataloging the belongings of the 3 Mississippi Freedom Riders as well as developing the Zapruder film.
In 65 he joined the Secret Service and was assigned to protect Mamie Eisenhower detail followed by assignments with LBJ and Richard Nixon. He continued protective duties for both Gov. George Wallace and Jimmy Carter.
After receiving intel that a Columbian drug cartel had put out a contract on the Bush family, John was assigned to protect First Son and future President George W. Bush. John retired in 95.
The stories he told were many, and a lot of them will never be repeated. I am proud to have been his friend.
