ZANESVILLE -It was retired Army Specialist Justin Johnson's choice to have his leg amputated.


It was a decision that wasn't taken lightly and was made nearly four years after the incident that led to this decision.

He had the surgery to remove the lower half of his left leg April 14, at the Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington, D.C. and is now recovering.
