Hey Victor,
Just thought I would let you know that Joe Johnson was killed in a helicopter crash several years after we left Viet Nam. The person I talked with lived in Alabama and said she went to high school with Joe. She said he went to Germany after he got back, but didn't know if he got killed in Germany or went back to Viet Nam and was killed there. Just thought I would let you know.
Take care, James
Bill,
I found a military crash aircraft website and copied this information. I have been trying to find an obit for Joe and have having some problems. I know he was from Elba, Alabama. However, he was married to Mary and lived in Brantley, Al.
