Please share with fellow Pararescuemen and drop DC a note that you are thinking of him.
 Surfer Doc” Don Johnson is in seriously declining health. He returned from Thailand a while ago and has been staying with his sister Heather (in California), but now his health maintenance has become too much for Heather.

He might appreciate an email or two from some of the PJs who worked with or remember him,.

The Last Full Measure movie brought to light the sacrifice we all are willing to make “That Others May Live”. Our September Reunion in Reno Nevada this year has the potential to be one of the greatest ever. Many have yet to make their reservations and wait to the last minute to do so. It is very important that you make them now. It is also desirable for the movie to be shown. Additional cost will be incurred as a result and we need everyone’s help to make this possible. We acknowledge that asking for financial help can be a touchy subject. This opportunity needs to happen. Additional sponsorships and donations are necessary to make this mission successful. This is our show! This is our team! This needs to be done! With everyone’s help, it will happen. Let’s get on board, donate or sponsor! Please help to get this out to everyone! Thank you.

I wanted the Association to see this first. I currently am on a 90-day LOA from my real job in Anchorage, to staff for my representative, Mel Gillis in Juneau. I could not resist talking to him about this momentous occasion, so I was able to write this Alaska Legislative Citation for him, and get it shepherded through a very fractured legislature this past week. Contact has been made with AKNG PAO, and we hope to get this to them soon. The ink isn’t dry, but I wanted the Association as well as some of the old 71st ARRS guys and that first generation of the 210th to enjoy it first. Patrick Malone, Drew Feild, Paul Reddington, Eric Taylor, Brett Hartnett, Larry Brooks, I hope you enjoy it! ... See MoreSee Less
