Salute 4 Heroes - Ralph H. Johnson

ABC News 4 wants to highlight your military heroes, past or present.

Please send their picture, name, rank, and a brief summary about their service in the submission portal below.

Our first hero is Ralph H. Johnson, the namesake of Charleston's VA Hospital. A Charleston native, Johnson sacrificed his life in the Vietnam War by jumping on a grenade to protect fellow Marines in 1968.

Johnson was posthumously awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor and a Purple Heart.

Your hero could be featured live during our weekday newscasts.
