Signed photograph

Johnson, then a congressman, was serving in the Naval Reserve when the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941. Two days later, he requested an indefinite leave of absence to apply for active duty, making him one of the first members of Congress to volunteer for an active military role. He notably served under General Douglas MacArthur in Australia, receiving a Silver Star for "gallantry in action on a flight over enemy territory".
