Not sure what to say?

"And I'll spend my lifetime Sending paper airplanes to the moon Praying they get to you And I'll spend the rest of my days Lost in this craze for you Sending paper airplanes to the moon" Miss you so much!

Courtney I did not know you, but you died for my freedom and this country. I wanted to thank you, to remember you on this day. I am praying for your son and family today for peace, comfort, and strength. Again thank you for your sacrifice.

It's been a long time coming brother but i didn't want to accept the fact that you are really gone but i can't fool myself anymore into thinking you're still over there somewhere and will pop up on us. I love you lil brother, we'll see each other again

Johnson and I sat right next to each other on the plane headed over to Iraq. We both had our headphones on listening to music. Crunk the whole flight never thinking for one second we both wouldn't return home.

The day of his death I had the opportunity of eating breakfast with Johnson in the DFAC and sharing a few laughs. Again, never did I imagine he would be leaving us all later on that afternoon.


Johnson, you will never be forgotten.

Not a day goes by that I don't remember you. You were a good friend and a good soldier. I try to be the best man I can be because you were someone that I looked up to. I miss you but I know I'll see you again someday

Yesterday was 9 years since you left us, battle. I miss your smile and the special way you greeted me each morning. "Mmmm, Momma J, you smell so good." I will wear this perfume for you each year on the 11th. Almost a decade later your name stays around my wrist & your smile on my mind.

Hey CJ,
You still aren't forgotten bro. May you continue to rest in peace. Doc Haynes "Tito"

Hey,my name is Courtney. I am currently a Senior at Winfield City High School. My government class was assigned a project. Our project was to do research on past military SGT. or ect. with our names. STG. Courtney T. Johnson was the first person I came acrossed. I am blessed to be able to write a message to all his family and friends. With that being said, I would like to say thank you to all who has served in war. May God Bless you throughout the years to come. And I will continue to keep...

Found pictures of us over the weekend while I was moving stuff and had the greatest dream about you. You will never be forgotten.
With love, Dontaye
