Johnson, was a soldier in the 24th infantry in Korea 3 division - segregated. His family is having a memorial and reinterment on July 24, 2009. Moving him from Pensacola to a new military facility in Jacksonville, FL. This is a special moment for our family as his mother has died. She cried all the time for her young son who was not 18 years old. So many others from Stanton High School were lost as well. The memorial will be held at the Bethel Baptist Inst. Church at 11:00am. To God Be the Glory! No one will ever no the complete hell they went through for this country. This is heart breaking as is all wars necessary and unecessary.v My uncle Hubert H.
