My walk today was dedicated in honor of:
Air Force Veteran John B wilson, Age 56 of Monterey TN.
Died Jul 22, 2008
Vietnam, Persian Gulf Veteran – Served from 1971 – 1994
He is buried in F A Norrod Memorial Cemetery, Hanging Limb, Overton County, TN.
Today would have been his birthday. He was born Dec. 26, 1951
We had a great 9.87 Mile walk. We walked up town and stopped by the war memorial park for a few min. then went on out 127 and then walked by the Flea Market. The weather was perfect. I want to thank everyone that waved, honked, and saluted in helping me honor this hero.
Air Force Veteran John B wilson will not be forgotten !
Johnny was my best friend. He and Sheila are the same as family to us. Johnny and I met at Chanute AFB in the early 1980s. The four of us were always together. We were also with them in Japan in the mid 1990s. When they were at Andrews AFB, we would come through to them on our way back from Europe. After we both retired from the Air Force..we still made sure we stayed close friends. Visiting there, or here, we loved both he and Sheila and Ben. I doubt that I will ever have a friend as close as Johnny. He is missed more than people can believe. Rest in peace my friend.
