Subject: Major Kenneth W Johnson, Awarded Silver Star
Don't know how many still in Tampico may or may not remember me from the Tampico High School days but I am the nephew/cousin of the Gale Miller family but thought there may be some that would enjoy the following links and pictures. I was presented the Silver Star on Oct. 19th here in Greenville SC for actions that took place 44 years ago in Viet Nam.
Some are on Google, another is Congressional Representative Trey Gowdy but I will post some links below. Thanks Ken Johnson

Of course I remember you Ken. Congradulations on your silver star and thank you for serving our country. How interesting that today is Veterans Day.I'm sure there are others that remember you but many of them don't follow this site. You have not changed a bit---still have that twinkle in your eye. Good to hear from you. Connie Schmitt Essig

Hi Connie, don't know which picture you are talking about but it probably was, Tom was there as well as my sister and all of my family. Remember well, working for your dad, driving your grandmother, and riding your horse. I retired from the military after 20 years, and have 5 children, 3 sons, 2 daughters, 14 grandchildren, 12 boys and 2 girls, 5 great, 2 boys and 3 girls, with another due in April. I live in greenville, SC and plan on staying here, its warmer in the south and taxes aren't as bad. My email is johnsonkw@charter.net. Hope all is well with you and yours, Ken
