Born on May 12, 1987 to Hans and Maggie Borbonus, John was raised in Boise, Idaho, and graduated in 2005 from Boise High School. John joined the Army on July 16, 2005 after which time he began training for the Special Forces as an Army Ranger.

The large scale statue portrays John while he was guarding a US Patrol Base in Baghdad, Iraq in 2007. SPC Borbonus shot the driver of a dump truck filled with explosives as it raced toward the patrol base. His heroic actions that day protected the lives of many US Soldiers.

John’s statue is the first bronze statue of an American soldier that lost his life in Iraq. It honors the patriotism and ideals of our American democracy and recognizes all who have suffered great loss for the cause of freedom.

SPC Borbonus represents the many American heroes who stand with valor and passion to defend others, protect our American liberty, and bring democracy to those who have been long oppressed.

A news report of the 2011 dedication can be found here.
