Captain John Birch is the namesake of the John Birch Society. Robert Welch, prominent founder of the Society, discovered that the U.S. government had covered up Birch’s death, and was impressed by Birch’s ideals and his character. Welch requested permission of George and Ethel Birch (John’s parents) to place John’s name on the organization he was going to create. They agreed and immediately became Life members.
Thank you, John Birch, for your extraordinary service to the whole wide world. Rest in peace.
