A wreath honoring U.S. Marine Corps Pfc. Ralph H. Johnson stands at the Beaufort National Cemetery Vietnam during a War Veterans Day wreath laying ceremony honoring Medal of Honor recipient U.S. Marine Corps Pfc. Ralph H. Johnson at the Beaufort national cemetery, Beaufort, South Carolina, March 29, 2025. Ralph Henry Johnson (January 11, 1949 – March 5, 1968) was a United States Marine who posthumously received the Medal of Honor for heroism in March 1968 during the Vietnam War. When a hand grenade was thrown into his fighting hole, he immediately covered it with his body—absorbing the full impact of the blast—sacrificing his life to save a fellow Marine and preventing the enemy from penetrating his patrol perimeter.
