Jan. 7, 2019— Lieutenant Colonel Richard Johnson was laid to rest in Arlington National Cemetery with full Air Force Military Honors on this date in 2003.

Something that touched a chord with me this weekend while I was with family was noticing how quickly children change. We can look in those little faces and see so much of our family written in them. Yes, there is the occasional child that looks like the OTHER side of the family, but usually we can pick out many of our features.
