That brother deserves to brought to the silver screens. It would make a great movie. A true war hero that loved his country when it didn't even love him back.
I attended Officer Training School this past summer. In our dorms, there was a picture of Sgt. Johnson in all of the common rooms. At the end of the first week, the whole 24 TRS was gathered and the acting commandant (Maj Berkes) made a speech talking about how despite not being appreciated by his country, his officers, and his branch, his heroic actions saved the lives of so many allies. It reinforced the duty that all officers have to their enlisted. His subsequent life in the United States was unacceptable for any citizen, let alone a war hero. I am Air Force, but I hope to be half the Airman that Johnson was a soldier. If you are an NCO or Officer, remember, you could have a Henry Johnson in your unit. It is your job to cultivate that soldier/sailor/airman/marine into the best they can be and reward them for their actions. Thanks to all those serving and who have served!
For those wondering why blacks would fight for a country that considered them second class citizens: Many Black Americans believed that if they proved their loyalty by fighting for America, they would earn respect and be treated as equals back home.

Considering what time it was I would not be suprised if his skin color was why they named him that. Hayha was called White Death because of the entire snow thing. I don't think its a similar thing here. I mean black death is a cool name but I think the reason why it was given to him is up for debate.
@@dpm2937 I mean they weren’t dumb they knew the correlation. They knew his skin made it fitting and the plague connection made it clever on top of it.
Can you tell us a war story, please?!!!!!!! Nonetheless, you still served the country, and you deserve praise for that. Henry Johnson would be proud of you if he were around today!
I'm a cadet in an Army JROTC in New York and my battalion is named after Sgt Henry Johnson. I will definitely suggest to my SAI and AI to show this video in class.
Bro nah ww1 French were tough AF major reason they surrendered so quickly in ww2 was how badly they still hadn’t recovered from ww1 losses we don’t meme them in that war
Blacks have fought in Every American war since the beginning of this country! We bleed and die for America. Wish we get more respect but the world knows. Thanks Mr Johnson you are my hero ❤️
What a legend. Americans where a different level of tough back then. You could strike a match from our chin stubble. Johnson's story is an amazing one. That man woke up, chose violence and eggs for breakfast. Godspeed Sgt and thank you for your service, I'll share your story every memorial day.

German commander: "Ja ja ja! We got them!" German Grunt: "I hear opera musik! Ooooh which one is it?" German commander: "Nein NEIN *NEIN!*" German Grunt: "No dat is Beethoven's Symphony number 5! Oh my favorite!" Johnson: "Well you know how that song and dance goes."
Make a video on Rifleman Jaswant Singh Rawat, who was an Indian soldier who won the Maha Vir Chakra posthumously at the Battle of Nuranang. He defended his position for 72 hours straight and killed over 300 chinese soldiers.
Sgt. Henry Johnson was truly a tough man. He was truly a war hero.

More like that episode of Archer, where the butler went crazy in ww1 lol It was actually pretty similar.
