Howard Johnson II

Mobile, Alabama

March 23, 2003

The Rev. Howard Johnson and his wife, Gloria, had waited 17 years for a son -- Howard Johnson II -- to join their two daughters. Johnson of Mobile, Ala., was killed March 23, when the 507th Maintenance Company was attacked. More than 1,000 packed a memorial service as Johnson was remembered for his remarkable smile, his sincerity, his military dreams and his courage.
