My Dad and I visited found his marker at the Normandy Cemetery in 2001. Honored by Albert Johnson [2013-05-29 03:48:38]
My father, Pvt. Howard J. Johnson served under Captain Fitch on D-Day and saw him killed on the beach. My father thought a lot of this brave man who while trying to rally his troops to move up stepped on a mine. He later took a direct hit from mortar. They were together many months in England.
