FORT HOOD, Texas — The U.S. Army Operational Test Command gathered to honor Command Sgt. Maj. Joe E. Johnson Jr.’s retirement after 30 years of service, in a ceremony here Dec. 16, marked by powerful tributes to his leadership and family.
At the front of it all was family: his wife, Darlene, and daughter, Jada — who performed the National Anthem by violin, setting a tone that was equal parts pride and goodbye.
Brig. Gen. Shannon-Mikal Lucas, commander of OTC, called retirement ceremonies “a time of reflection and gratitude,” and told the audience the turnout itself was proof of Johnson’s impact. “This broad representation is a direct reflection of the impact that Command Sgt. Maj. Johnson has had on this command and on the Fort Hood military community,” he said.
If the day had a theme, it was that service is never a solo act. Lucas looked directly at the Johnson family to tell how most military families live.
“Military service is never an individual endeavor,” said Lucas. “It’s shared, endured, and deeply felt by the families who live it each and every day.”
He called Army Families “members of the silent ranks — the ones who sacrifice quietly, so their Soldier can serve boldly.”
