NGS Scholar · Class of 2018
Jonathan Masson
In honor of Jonathan's father, Master Sergeant John Masson, U.S. Army
Jonathan Masson graduated from Purdue University in May 2018, with a Bachelor of Science in Professional Flight and a Minor in Organizational Leadership. He is now a U.S. Army Apache pilot.
His father, Army Master Sergeant John Masson enlisted in 1989 and deployed as airborne infantry for Operation Desert Storm. In the aftermath of 9/11, Masson was back in Iraq as a special forces medic.
During a mission in Afghanistan, he stepped on an IED, losing both his legs and his left (dominant) arm in the explosion. He was rescued and transferred to Walter Reed National Medical Center, where he spent years recovering from his injuries.
Donations made to No Greater Sacrifice are a blessing to us, the families. They give us hope [by] coming into the picture and RELIEVING us of ANY worry whatsoever. It’s like a great night’s sleep, times eternity.

The NGS scholarship is more than just a scholarship to me. The program itself keeps patriotism alive and that's very important to me considering how much my mother has sacrificed through mind, body and spirit. I want to thank all of the donors who made my scholarship possible!

Generous gifts covered Jonathan's path. For another Scholar it's a laptop or a lab fee. 95 cents of every dollar reaches the mission.
