Drafted during the Vietnam era, Larry Johnson filed for conscientious objector status and served as an Army medic in Germany. The life-long peace activist from Golden Valley, Minnesota, answered JFK's call in 1961 and hiked 50 miles. At age 61, he hiked 61 miles down Highway 61 with his grandson Tyler. Just a few weeks ago, to commemorate his 70th birthday, Larry completed a 70 mile hike.
