Upon further research on Sgt. Johnson and his service, I was shocked to discover that he has since sadly passed away 10 years ago in 2009 shortly before being discharged from the Army.

For me, from the perspective of someone who's currently entering the military and as a collector, this grouping is absolutely priceless. It is my hope that by properly displaying his items that his memory will continue to live on. May his selflessness and sacrifice never be forgotten. Rest in Peace Sir.

Wanted to post a quick update to this thread.

Many and sincere thanks to his family for telling me more about Sgt. Johnson and for sharing a few photos. This particular one shows the same exact helmet in this thread being worn early during Sgt. Johnson's 2006-2007 deployment to Afghanistan

A very impressive group.

Thanks for sharing.

It is every bit as important as the much sought-after WWII M1 helmets with provenance, etc.
