Top Kone emails that he attended Norman Hall‘s Memorial today. He reports that it was well-attended and that he met two people who heard about the memorial on TAH, but that most people were told by their local VSOs. The local news, WHAS posted this video on their Facebook page;
Top Kone quoted the minister;
A man died with out family? Look around you! You can see is his family by their vests, hats, pins, logos on shirts. We all have a family of brothers and sisters in arms.
From Top;
The city of Radcliffe went above and beyond for MSG Hall. Harden County JROTC, VFW, KY Veterans Service, and Patriot Riders all sent honor guards, Several from FT Knox also were in attendance (including my BDE Commander). Personally this is how ALL Soldiers should be honored, wish it could be like that every time.
You might remember that the 71-year-old Army veteran was murdered in Radcliffe, Kentucky. WDRB reports that two people have been arrested in the case. Top Kone promises to keep us updated on the trial.
Two suspects were arrested for Hall’s murder, including an underage female and 23-year-old Aaron Pearson.
Police believe they knew Hall, and were at his apartment to steal.
My personal thanks to the community of Radcliffe for turning out like they did for our brother.
A well deserved memorial for our brother.
God bless all that attended! And may his killers reap the maximum for their evil!!
Good news.
May he find a rising sun on the road he follows now.
Goddamn this makes me angry……a life well lived ,full of service to his nation…and to be taken down by home grown animals
Yes, and many came to honor him, to bid him goodbye and to thank him for how he chose to spend his life: in service. As for the animals who took his life, when they go to prison they will not be missed and when they die they will not be mourned.
I choked up when I read the minister’s words:
“A man died with out family? Look around you! You can see is his family by their vests, hats, pins, logos on shirts. We all have a family of brothers and sisters in arms.”
Made my eyes sweat.
Nice to see vets step up for a brother in arms… and thanks to Top Kone for the update!
Well done, all. Wish more of us could have been there with y’all, but it would seem that you represented us very well. Thank you.
Rest easy, Sergeant. You’re in God’s hands now.
Aw. I’m gonna have ugly cry face…No man left behind. Well done, PG and comrades!
RIP, Norman. You are remembered.
BZ all around for those who made the service (and made it possible).
Rest well MSG.
I hope some are able to attend the trial to remind those shitbirds that their attempt at an easy payday took the life of a good man.
