Robert Peter Johnson

West Point, 1955

Be Thou At Peace

Posted by Paul Werner 83 on January 26, 2003:

One of the keys to understanding what Bob Johnson treasured most about his love for USMA is simply stated below:


Honor


Many years ago, I came upon several honor documents involving WP. I can tell you personally that Bob Johnson took a personal interest in the discussions and debates that surrounded their online publication and subsequent discussion on the WP Forum many years ago. Like Bob Johnson, I have been a member of the WP Forum since the early days (1996). I used to be a frequent contributor, but my time available to post on the WP Forum has been reduced dramatically since my return to active duty and subsequent assumption of command of an aviation intermediate maintenance company here in Korea. This much I can say; Bob Johnson had a strong love for WP and duty, honor, and country. He was controversial in his posts and he got a lot of folks to think and question the status quo. That is a *good* thing.


Be thou at peace...
