U.S. Congressman Sam Johnson visited Homestead Air Reserve Base for a dedication ceremony in his honor. The Air Force dedicated it's Fitness Center in his name.
Mr. Johnson fought as a Combat Pilot in both the Koren and Vietnam War. He was shot down during one of his missions and captured. Mr. Johnson was then held for seven years at a P.O.W. camp.
He eventually made it out alive; 6'.2" weighing only 125lbs.
After extensive rehabilitation he returned to the Air Force and served as Wind Commander for the 31st Fighter Wing at Homestead AFB from 1975 till 1979.
