From John Pighini 

To All:

The photos below are from the May 4 showing at the Special Warfare Indoc Center at Lackland AFB of The Last Full Measure.  After the viewing of the movie, plaques were presented by me, Neil Black and Dave Milsten on behalf of the Pararescue Community to Todd Robinson, Director, and Sidney Sherman, Executive Producer, for their total dedication and determination of 19 years to bring to life the William Pitsenbarger story. 

I had the distinct honor to be the technical advisor for Pits’ role and to work with the troops, especially Jeremy Irvine (starring as Pits) in Thailand.  Dave was on the mission with Pits and as an advisor on the roles of PJs in the movie.  Both Dave and I have been traveling with the Todd and Sidney to numerous showings throughout the east coast representing Pararescue on the Q & A portion of the movie follow-up. Dave and I will be there with Todd and Sidney at the graduation and the showings of the movie.

The Plaques  Read:

IT IS WITH GREAT ADMIRATION THAT WE, THE UNITED STATES AIR FORCE PARARESCUE COMMUNITY, THANK YOU, TODD ROBINSON, FOR YOUR DEDICATION AND DETERMINATION OVER 19 YEARS TO BRING TO LIFE THE WILLIAM H. PITSENBARGER STORY. THIS EXTRAORDINARY MOVIE ABOUT A PARARESCUE MEDAL OF HONOR RECIPIENT WILL RAISE AWARENESS, INCREASE RESPECT AND HONOR THE SACRIFICES OF ALL WARRIORS OF OUR NATION. 

Look forward to seeing you all there!  Feel free to share with others that are not on this email list.

“I would like to notify the PJ's that one of your own needs a lot of prayers and continued support as he is battling cancer. His name is Donald C. Johnson, better known as DC Surfer Johnson, living in Bangkok, Thailand. DC is currently staying with relatives in the Los Angeles area while he undergoes chemo and radiation therapy. He granted me permission to let you all know what he is up against. Please, if you would, send a card or letter of support and encouragement to the following address: DC Johnson, c/o Heather Johnson, 943 Ann Arbor Avenue, Ventura, CA. or email him at dcsurferdoc@yahoo.com. He saved my brother Tom Pope's life in Laos on January 18, 1969. Our family will be eternally grateful for his act of courage and ask for your support of DC while he faces tremendous odds. Thank you for reading my letter. Marjorie Pope”
