My name is SPC Bowins, Justin. I am currently deployed at Joint Base Balad, Iraq. Outside of our battalion there is a gazebo dedicated to CPL Ty Johnson.

"I never want to forget the sacrifices of so many young men and women. I am so proud it makes me cry. I understand in theory only that war is a part of human nature but so is love and caring. I wish I could take the families pain away but I can't. I am committed to loving ALL people, myself and our environment. I am committed to working on my happiness everyday because so many have died for my freedom to live my life. Thank you is not enough but it is all I have. All my love and respect. ogersteiner@yahoo.com

"I went to elementary school, middle school, and high school with Ty and his brother Blake. I remember he was a little trouble maker :). He got me in trouble once. I grew up with them. We hung around with a lot of the same people, but were never best friends. The last time I saw Ty was at a dance club, in Salt Lake City,in the late 1990's we were both talking about people we had liked in school that did not like us back. We were commiserating with each other which made us feel better. I can still see his face as he left, with a smile on it. Just like he had in many school pictures. I will never forget his face. To his family he was good person, and I am glad I got to know him while he was here on this Earth, and I feel strongly that we will see him in the life to come. I hope that brings a small measure of comfort to all of you. I will never forget the sacrifice he made for me and for our country."

"Douglas MacArthur was only half correct in his quote...
"The soldier above all others prays for peace, for it is the soldier who must suffer and bear the deepest wounds and scars of war."

For the Johnson family, you have suffered and bore a loss that only other lost soldier's family have felt. I sincerely hope that the time has helped you endure since Ty's sacrifice for country, honor and duty.

We thank Ty and your family for helping to keep our family as well as America safe. We pray that you have or will soon find peace in your lives. Ty will not be forgotten as he lives on in his beautiful children.

God Bless You Ty and all of your family !"
