Lt. John Connors, a Navy SEAL, died on December 20, 1989 during Operation Nifty Package, a mission to disable movement of, then apprehend, Manuel Noriega. Lt. Connor’s platoon succeeded in destroying Noriega’s plane, which facilitated Noriega’s capture on January 3, 1990.
In the October 1990 issue of Reader’s Digest, Malcolm McConnell wrote about Lt. Connor’s heroism in an article titled “Measure of Man.” I hope that you may take the time to read it.

Bravo Zulu LT. You are missed. Squeezing your I.V. because you had to finish a treatment so the doctor would let you go. You just had to be with your men. I won’t ever forget you and the sacrifice you made 20 Dec 1989. This Memorial Day, I will teach my two sons the story of Lt John P Connors. I might even mention Don, Chris and Issac too. You are missed Dear Friend.
