Thank You
Dear WO Leo Hester, Thank you for your service as an Utility/Observation Helicopter Pilot with the 1st Cavalry. Yesterday was Memorial Day when we honor you. I could not post because the system was overwhelmed. Please watch over the USA, it still needs your courage. Rest in peace with the angels.
