The BG(R) Rodney L. Johnson and MAJ Spencer Johnson Memorial Scholarship

BG(R) Rodney L. Johnson graduated from South Dakota State University and commissioned a 2LT in the US Army in 1977. He served as an MP Officer for 32 years culminating as the CID Commander and Provost Marshall General of the US Army.

MAJ Spencer Johnson was commissioned a 2LT MI Officer in 2005 through the Officer Candidate School. Spencer was attending the University of Texas in Austin working on his PhD in Southeast Asia studies when he felt the call to serve. Spencer’s first deployment to Iraq was with the 89th MP BDE.

Education is very important to the Johnson family. We hope this scholarship will help someone continue to grow in Rod and Spencer’s memory.
