Today, we honor Specialist Five Dwight H. Johnson, who served in the U.S. Army during the Vietnam War. In 1968, when his tank was attacked, Johnson left safety to fight off enemy forces, rescue a fellow soldier, and protect his unit. His extraordinary bravery earned him the Silver Star, one of the military’s highest honors, in 1969. Johnson tragically passed away in 1971 at the age of 24, but he is remembered for his selfless courage and dedication under fire.
