A Note from The Virtual Wall

According to his family, 1LT Johnson's unit was attacked while returning from a routine mission on 22 June 1967. Lightly wounded in the initial exchange of fires, 1LT Johnson was then struck in the head by shrapnel while rallying his men. He was medevaced to Saigon where he died the following day. It appears that 1LT Johnson was the only soldier who died as a result of the ambush.
