War museum's volunteers have many stories to tell

Harry D. Johnson, who was a private first class during the Korean War, is a Vermilion County War Museum society board member. He and his wife, Coletta, often volunteer at the museum.

A photo of Johnson and Gen. James A. Van Fleet is witness to one of his more memorable war stories. He was asked to pick up the general at the airfield and drive him to an appointment and back.
