He was awarded the Bronze Star, Good Conduct, Combat Infantry Badge, National Defense, Vietnam Service, Vietnam Campaign, and Sharpshooter's Medal. Johnny was 20 years old and is remembered on panel 70W, line 1.

As a former VietNam veteran myself, I just want you to know that your sacrifice will never be forgotten

I visited the wall a few years back, when my husband and I were on our way to Silver Springs VA. John's name is the only one on the first panel (closest to the Lincoln Memorial). I remember this name so well, as my husband's best friend's name is John H. Anderson, Jr. Though there is no connection, I still remember that visit to the wall, and the great impression it has left upon me. When I think of our brave, fallen heros, John H. Anderson Jr, always comes to mind. You are not forgotten.
