A friend to all.
If you served in any branch of the United States military, you know Staff Sgt. John Higgins. And chances are, Higgins knows you, too.

“Whenever I see a guy in camouflage, I ask if they know my buddy Barry,” said Justin Pool, a local man who spotted Higgins at the mall food court. “He is a Marine, but I figured you guys all know each other.”
