This month, in honor of Veteran’s Day, SLT pays tribute to loggers who have served in the military. Featured are brothers Linwood Johnson, a Vietnam veteran, and J.T. Johnson, who served in Germany; Danny Johnson and Hulet Moore, both Iraq veterans from 1991 and 2003, respectively.

He’s still got a few reels to go before his final act, but Linwood Johnson has already had a long and colorful life. A logger from a big family of loggers, Johnson is also a Vietnam veteran and a horse expert who, on the side, works in movies and TV shows. He’s 71 now – “Almost old enough to retire,” he says with a grin.
