I managed to find one actual combat report on Mr. Doreston "John" Johnson, USMC, WWII, Solomon Islands Campaign, Aug. 23-25, 1942 on board the USS Enterprise. He had just turned 19 years of age. Even I cannot imagine the horror he had seen nor the terror he endured; however, he quietly took it to his resting place. May he finally rest in peace. Thank you, Mr. Johnson, for what we have around us today.
