COMMENTARY>>TEAM LITTLE ROCK SAYS GOODBYE TO BLACK KNIGHT

Team Little Rock mourns the passing of a Black Knight this week. Tech. Sgt. William “Dale” Hall, 19th Logistics Readiness Squadron, passed away Sunday after succumbing to injuries suffered in a motocross accident in March. A memorial service is scheduled for Monday on the flightline. “Dale brought us closer as a team. He also helped us to gain a real sense of family in ways that I, as a commander, could never do. He brought out the best in all of us,” said Maj. John Winkler, 19th LRS commander. “Our warrior ethos is embodied in our Airmen’s Creed. There is a line that reads: ‘I will never falter, I will never fail, I will never leave an Airman behind.’ Not only did Dale live these words, he inspired all of us to do the same.”

Anyone wishing to attend should be in place no later than 6:15 a.m. on the flightline adjacent to Bldg. 260, adjacent to the 48th
Airlift Squadron, on Cannon Drive. Participants will line up in a single-file line along the flightline. A moment of silence is scheduled for 6:23 a.m. Parking is available in the lots next to and around Bldg. 259, the parachute packing facility, along Cannon Drive off of Chief Master Sgt Williams Drive. Uniform for those participating in the memorial is uniform of the day. For more information, call Capt. Kazimir Kostrubala at 987-7125.
