I'm the twin brother of LCpl Raymon L.A. Johnson. I really appreciate the dedication video for both of the Marines. He died of wounds from an IED.

@RJ47EBK706 I am so sorry for the loss of your brother and hero. I am one of the reporters that wrote of his passing and my husband, LCpl Pope is a member of 1/8, the unit your brother was with. May God bless you and your family.

My son served with these fine Marines of the 1/8 (and still is). My husband, mother & mother -in-law and myself attended the Memorial Service for the fallen of the 1/8 in April. It was very emotional and my heart goes out to the fallen and their famlies. God Bless.

I trained the entire work up with Johnson and was sad to hear of his passing. He was a great guy and an even better Marine!

I was with Ose when he was killed, happened like 20 feet away from me. I will never forget that day. I wear a braclet in memory of him! RIP brother!

Aco 1/8 82-87 wpns PLT-0341- lebanon there on oct 23rd 83- I sometimes think back and for some strange reason I feel that the job was never finished,I understand now more than ever that the Marine Corps will always be busy trying to complete a mission,and held back by politics,

Thank you for the video, I was very good friends with Ose, Who is actually a LCpl. Got to hang out this past weekend with the 1/8 and attended the memorial for those fallen on this deployment. Thank God for their service and sacrifice
