Today the sad message came that Arnhem veteran glider pilot Ron Johnson has passed away, he reached the age of 102 years. He returned many times to the Arnhem Oosterbeek area and was a popular veteran. The Dreijenoord Hotel or to Ron, the White House " was a place of remembrance to him and where he had his final last stand during the battle. He was very proud to be asked to unveil the VC David Lord monument at Wolfheze on his former LZ.
Destined by fate,
On a glorious path,
In faith you ascended,
Into battle dropped,
Hard pressed in the fray,
Through fury forward,
In action distinguished,
Forever remembered,
The Spirit never dies!
Rest in peace Ron Johnson
