LARRY DU WAYNE JOHNSON was born on October 31, 1951 and joined the Armed Forces while in PROVO, UT.
He served as a 67A1F in the Army, and attained the rank of SP4/E4.
On July 22, 1970, at the age of 18, LARRY DU WAYNE JOHNSON perished in the service of our country in South Vietnam, Phuoc Long.
You can find LARRY DU WAYNE JOHNSON honored on the Vietnam Veterans Memorial on Panel 8W, Row 42.

This is my young brother-in-law. This little profile doesn't tell you that he left a young wife and two small daughters, or that Larry and Linda were childhood sweethearts. It doesn't tell you that he and his wife were distant cousins. I am determined to honor this young man. With the exception of his parents, spouse and children and siblings, I don't think anyone has given him personal, individual honor for his service since the day the flag was presented to Linda and the casket was lowered into the ground. We all honor all our fallen heroes, but it would take forever to give each of them the recognition he deserves, so we usually honor them as a group of whatever size. For this reason, I post this information here, so you all can know that Larry has never been forgotten.
