62 years have passed but your memory has not. I want to thank you motorman for your service and wish to thank you for your dedication to our beloved Blue & Gold....being a California Highway Patrol Traffic Officer is an honor in its self. But being a Military veteran and then becoming a CHP motor officer you have been the very best there is. God bless you and God bless your family and our beloved Highway Patrol. Semper Fi.

Officer Johnston,
On today, the 60th anniversary of your death I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice-not just as a LEO but for our Country as well when you served with the U.S. Army. And to your Family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.

It has been nearly 53 years, and Dad, there is not a day that goes by that I don't think of you. I gain strength and pride daily by working for the same agency (CHP).
I would also like to take this opportunity to thank all of you that have taken the time to leave a reflection. Especially to Chief Canada. It means alot to me. Thank you again.

I served with Joe in the 375th Military Police Company At Camp Cooke, Ca (now Vandenburg AFB) from Oct 1950 until Jan 1953. I worked with Joe on many occasions and remember him as a wonderful person and one of the most friendly guys I ever knew. We both attended Military Police School at Presidio of San Francisco. Now over fifty years have passed and I still remember him like it was yesterday. Rest in peace Joe.
