The National Vietnam War Museum is pleased to announce that Congressman Sam Johnson (R-TX) has joined the museum Board of Visitors. Congressman Johnson, a 29-year US Air Force veteran, and Vietnam POW, is the highest-ranking Texan on both the Ways & Means Committee and the Committee on Education and the Workforce.
Congressman Johnson is a graduate of SMU, and served as a fighter pilot in both Korea and Vietnam, and also flew with the Air Force Thunderbirds precision flying team.
