Sgt. Joe Johnson Memorial Highway

Donation protected
This is our nephew, Army Sgt. Joe Johnson.  Joe deployed to Afghanistan in December 2009 as Counter-IED and Route Clearance Patrol--as one officer described it--the most dangerous job in modern times. On June 16, 2010, he again volunteered for what he knew would be a dangerous mission.  That day he proved himself to be a true hero and made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom.

As a tribute to Joe and his family, Michigan 's Governor Snyder signed a bill enacting that the portion of highway U.S. 23 in Genesee County, Michigan, beginning at the intersection of highway U.S. 23 and Thompson Road
and extending north to the intersection of highway U.S. 23 and Bristol Road shall be known as the "Sergeant Joe Johnson Memorial Highway."

It's now up to Joe's family to raise the $3,500 for the signage to be placed on the highway.  Anything you can give by mid-May would be greatly appreciated.  Funds given above and beyond what is needed for the signs will be transferred to A Hero's Legacy: The Joe Johnson Foundation, a 501(c)(3) organization established by Joe's parents with a mission of helping the children of our fallen and wounded soldiers to further their post high school goals of a higher education.

Thank you for helping Joe's family continue his legacy.
