HOUSTON – A father who left his family to serve his country in Afghanistan had his truck stolen just days after his departure.
Senior Master Sgt. Jeffrey Johnson said he promised his Ford F-350 to his teenaged daughter, who is about to get her license. But just a few days after he left on Sept. 23 for training, then a deployment overseas, the Texas Air National Guard member said his truck was stolen from the Galena Park Independent School District administration building.
