Midshipman John Monroe Johnson was a Trident scholar.

He was, as his classmate said, a "model midshipman."

And, on Friday, he was the first midshipman to receive a posthumous degree from the Naval Academy under a new policy.

Johnson, 22, died in December 2020 after a drowning accident while on winter break and is buried at the Naval Academy. He was set to commission as a Naval Special Warfare Officer.
