THE WALL OF FACES

Thank you for your service to our country so long ago sir. The remembrance from your daughter Linda Faye is touching. As long as you are remembered you will always be with us….

Dear SFC Gerald Johnson, Thank you for your service as a Motor Transport Operator. Your 90th birthday just passed, happy birthday. Saying thank you isn't enough, but it is from the heart. Please watch over America, it stills needs your strength, courage and faithfulness. Rest in peace with the angels.

Sergeant First Class Gerald James Johnson, Served with the 541st Transportation Company, 124th Transportation Battalion, 8th Transportation Group, United States Army Support Command (Qui Nhon), 1st Logistical Command, United States Army Vietnam.

Always smiling and always with a stub of a cigar in his mouth.

He was a military man from day one. He was 39 years old when he died and had served in the Army for 22 of those years. At the age of 17, he lied about his age and joined the Army. This was his third tour, with his first two being to Korea. He dedicated his life to the military service and would have become a "lifer" if given the chance. He loved this country and considered it an honor to serve and protect for our freedom.

I am proud to say he was my father and only wish we would have had more time to spend together. I will see you again someday.
