Thirty-five years ago, Bogart Patrolman Herbert Daniel Johnson said good-bye to his family and headed out to assist a tow truck with the removal of an abandoned car.  He was struck by a vehicle and never came home.

The Bogart community Sunday ensured Johnson would never be forgotten with the dedication of a monument in his honor, located across from City Hall.

Additionally, a portrait of Johnson hangs inside City Hall and his story will also be included in a section of a museum currently under construction by the Bogart Historical Society.
