Pioneers in Blue
Retired Col. Sam Johnson, a highly decorated fighter pilot, served in the Air Force for 29 years. He flew combat missions in both the Korean and Vietnam wars and was a prisoner of war in Vietnam's Hanoi Hilton for nearly seven years. Colonel Johnson is featured in "Pioneers in Blue," a portrait display inside the Pentagon, which launched Sept. 18, 2010. The project is sponsored by the Air Force Public Affairs Agency, and features portraits of 38 veterans from different career fields and backgrounds who have contributed to the greatness of the Air Force. The portraits will be on display in the Pentagon for about a year, and a second mini-set of the top 10 portraits also will be displayed for 2 to 3 months in the Library of Congress.
