Johnnie’s Retirement Ceremony Live

Graduation Ceremony Today

19 Feb, 2026

Johnnie’s Retirement Ceremony

We invite you to join us as we honor my service, reflect on the journey, and celebrate what comes next at my Retirement Ceremony.

Murphy Canyon Chapel, San Diego

February 19, 2026

10:00 AM (Reception immediately following)

This moment represents not just a uniform hung up, but a legacy of service that will carry forward into the next chapter. If you are able to attend, I would be honored to celebrate alongside you.

Thank you to everyone who has supported, mentored, served with, and stood behind me over these 20 remarkable years.
