I was there, still have flashbacks from that day...I lost Johnson, he was under my command. He was 19yrs old. When I rotated back to the world, I had to tell his family, mother, father, wife and his young son who he never met. I will never forget it.

I don't remember his name but i recall hearing about a guy in the army in the vietnam era who didn't fight because the army kept him in America because he was such a good shooter it made good PR for the army. I remember being told that he could toss asprin in the air and shoot it with a .22.

6 years and counting SSG <--for almost 2 weeks. Hanging out in lovely Afghanistan with the rest of the guys and girls of OEF-7. Won't be home for Christmas... send Girl Scout Cookies...or the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders?? Hey it's my fantasy leave me alone. HAHA\n\nI know we have all lost loved ones but there is a quote by Gen Patton that I like. If you don't like it please take no offense.\n\n"It is foolish and wrong to mourn the men who died. Rather we should thank God that such men lived."\n- General George S. Patton, Jr \n\nIf he were alive today I'm sure I would have said men and women.

I agree pal. I joined RAF 1977  and we made our own entertainment. Darts, pool, snooker we never had much but we had friends. Now they live in en-suite rooms with showers, internet and cable tv. Best of luck to them but it means the quiet get left behind and a lot end up committing suicide, sometimes accidentally if you get my drift though it is a very small proportion. Our society has gone soft and our armed forces are reflecting this. People did not leave the London Underground and go to their stress counsellor. They had a cup of tea and got on with it. Now, has my pension arrived in the bank yet.

Contact the National Archives. They have military records. This link might be a good place to start.

Very thoughtful.  You did not mention if he were still alive or what branch of service he had served.  He might have registered his DD214 with the Hall of Records I would check there first if not, go to http://www.archives.gov/veterans/military-service-records/get-service-records.html  then you can request it on line at their web page; fax it or write them.  If after you receive your DD214 you need awards and medals download a Form SF 180 Requests Pertaining to Military Records, http://www.archives.gov/veterans/military-service-records/replacement-medals.html   complete it and send to one of the following:\n\nBureau of Naval Personnel  (Navy, Coast guard and Marines)\nLiaison Office Room 5409\n9700 Page Avenue\nSt. Louis, MO 63132-5100\n\nNational Personnel Records Center  (Air Force)\nAir Force Reference Branch (NRPMF)\n9700 Page Avenue\nSt. Louis, MO 63132-5100\n\nNational Personnel Records Center   (Army)\nMedals Section (NRPMA-M)\n9700 Page Avenue\nSt. Louis, MO 63132-5100\n\nBest of luck.  Thank-you and God Bless you and the Southern People.
