I went to school with Terry Melvin Johnson and we grew up together. I joined the Marine Corps in January 1969 and got out in May 1974 as a sergeant. I got orders to Nam in 1972 and ended up staying on Okinawa. Called up again while on Okinawa for deployment to Vietnam and then stood down. My then 19 year old wife was expecting our first child. I thank each Marine who went because maybe because of them I'm alive today, and was able to have and enjoy a happy healthy family. I watched my youngest son graduate from boot camp completing the 4th generation of Harris family's representation in the Corps. I want Terry to be remembered. He was loved, respected and is missed and will always be a part of our lives. I want others to know of that loss as well.
