John Lowe grew up in a military family in West Tennessee. His grandfather, who raised him, served in World War II and Korea. Lowe always wanted to serve his country, but said he had a child when he graduated high school and didn’t feel the time was right to join the armed forces.
After high school, he worked full-time as a machinist. Fifteen years later, he was married to his wife, Hollie, had a steady job and three children — a girl and two boys. In 2008, at the age of 33, he enlisted in the Army.
