LCPL Johnson was born in Hartford, CT, the son of Louis and Kathy (Titus) Johnson. Philip was a
graduate of Enfield High School Class of 2005. He was a member of the wrestling team during his
junior year and he was also a member of Voices Incorporated, a choral program that integrated both
Enfield high schools. Philip enjoyed music tremendously and played several instruments including
saxophone, keyboards, drums and bass guitar. Philip's love for his country was strong and true; he
wanted nothing more than to be a United States Marine from the time that he discovered what a Marine
was. There is a certain pride in a Marine's eye from the moment that they earn their Eagle, Globe
and Anchor and this pride radiated from Philip.
Philip was a dedicated member of the Westover Young Marines at Westover Air Base, MA. He joined the
Young Marines at the age of 11 achieving the rank of Staff Sergeant before being honorably
discharged in 2005 prior to joining the US Marine Corps. Philip took this step with solemn foresight
that he was meant to serve his country through the Marine Corps. Philip began his journey as a
Marine in August 2005 at Parris Island, the Marine Corps basic training base. Before graduating as a
US Marine, Philip achieved the positions of squad leader and platoon guide an honor bestowed upon a
select few that demonstrate leadership and proficiency skills.
After basic training, he was stationed at Camp Lejeune, NC where he trained with the 2nd Marines
Scout Sniper Weapons Unit. LCPL Johnson was a member of the 3D BN 2D MAR KILO Company while in
Iraq.
LCPL Johnson is survived by his immediate family; Lou and Kathy, parents; Jessica, sister; Beverly,
grandmother; Doris, great-grandmother; Bill, uncle and Josephine, aunt. Phil is also survived by
Aunt and Uncle Anne and Rick Honn; Uncle and Aunt Andy and Lori Titus; Uncle Paul Titus, and
Cousins, Jimaine Titus, Joe and Jonathan Titus, Jacob and Andrew Honn
and Bill and Missy Johnson.
♥ TIME WILL EASE THE HURT ♥
♥ by Bruce B. Wilmer ♥
♥ The sadness of the present days ♥
♥ Is locked and set in time, ♥
♥ And meaning to the future ♥
♥ Is a slow and painful climb. ♥
♥ But all the feelings that are now ♥
♥ So vivid and so real ♥
♥ Can't hold their fresh intensity ♥
♥ As time begins to heal. ♥
♥ No wound so deep will ever go ♥
♥ Entirely away; ♥
♥ Yet every hurt becomes ♥
♥ A little less from day to day. ♥
♥ Nothing can erase the painful ♥
♥ Imprints on your mind; ♥
♥ But there are softer memories ♥
♥ That time will let you find. ♥
♥ Though your heart won't let the sadness ♥
♥ Simply slide away, ♥
♥ The echoes will diminish ♥
♥ Even though the memories stay. ♥
All My Love Anne xx
ALWAYS IN MIND
⊱♥⊰ ⊱♥⊰ ⊱♥⊰ ⊱♥⊰ ⊱♥⊰ ⊱♥⊰ ⊱♥⊰ ⊱♥⊰ ⊱♥⊰
Time has stood still for those who love you,
the grief is still fresh, their hearts are still blue.
Memories can ease pain but they never can fill,
the space that is left when they think of you still.
So stay near to those who miss you each day,
for they carry a sadness since you went away.
Send the strength to cope where others have tried,
and some love for their hearts that hurt deep inside.

I am not a family member by blood or a friend, but this family is my family. My son is a Cpl in the USMC the same age as Philip! So, he is my son too! It breaks my heart to hear about his death, but please remember, that he inlisted of his own accord, to protect each and every one of us. What a virtue, how lucky we all are to have been blessed with his love of country and citizens that he would give his life for us. Let us NEVER forget him, and honor him and he is in my heart every day! I pray for his family that they will go on, and feel proud of the man he had become. GOD BLESS PHILIP JOHNSON! He is still watching over us making sure we are safe, I am sure!

To mother I'm writing this from heaven, where I dwell with God above.
Where there's no more tears or sadness, there's just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy because I am out of sight
Remember that I am with you every morning, noon and night.
And I will stay beside you, every day, week and year
And when you're sad I'll still be there to wipe away your tears.
When you think of my life on earth and all those living years
Because your only human their bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry it does relieve the pain
Remember there wouldn't be flowers unless we first had rain.
I wish I could tell you of all that God has planned
But even if I were able to, you wouldn't understand.
When your going down the street and you've got me on your mind
I'm walking in your footsteps and only half a step behind.
And if you feel a gentle breeze or wind upon your face
Remember it's only me with a loving and soft embrace.
P.S. God sends His Love
Love Anne xx

♥ღ♥ The Few ♥ღ♥
Mischievous laughing boys grew
To quick manhood to be "The Few"
Who flew beyond all human call
Through summer height to autumn fall
Infringed the Sanctity of space
In freedom's name - and died in grace
Falling leaves upon the weald
To russet spot on field
Their brief, gay valiant season spent
For Us!
Our task -their monument
Nature herself has taken o'er
And has decreed for evermore
The Few shall be remembered
If not by you
Well then by me
Written by an 18 year old pilot air gunner from Tipperary the day before he was killed in Arnhem
Love Anne xx
♥ღ♥ Safely Home ♥ღ♥
I am safely in Heaven, dear ones:
Oh, so happy and so bright!
There is perfect joy and beauty
In this everlasting light.
All the pain and grief is over,
Every restless tossing past;
I am now at peace forever,
Safely home in Heaven at last.
And He came Himself to meet me
In that way so hard to tread;
And with Jesus' arm to lean on,
Could I have one doubt or dread?
Then you must not grieve me sorely,
For I love you dearly still;
Try to look beyond earth's shadows,
Pray to trust our Father's will
♥ღ♥ Love Anne ♥ღ♥
A Proud Soldier
I WENT WHERE OTHERS FEARED TO GO
AND DID WHAT OTHERS FAILED TO DO
I ASKED FOR NOTHING FROM THOSE WHO GAVE NOTHING
AND RELUCTANTLY ACCEPTED THE THOUGHT
OF ETERNAL LONELINESS SHOULD I FAIL
I HAVE SEEN THE FACES OF TERROR
FELT THE STINGING COLD OF FEAR
AND ENJOYED THE SWEET
TASTE OF MOMENTS LOVE
I HAVE CRYED
PAINED AND HOPED
BUT MOST OF ALL
I HAVE LIVED TIMES OTHERS WOULD ONLY SAY
WHERE BEST FRIENDS FORGOTTEN
AT LEAST ONE DAY I WILL BE ABLE TO SAY THAT
I WAS PROUD OF WHO I WAS
A SOLDIER.
GOD BLESS YOU PHILIP LOVE ANNE xxxx
