Example Patriot Honor Roll tribute
U.S. Army (Retired) Lieutenant Colonel
Edward J. Sweeney Jr.
[ THIS IS THE FLAG STEWARD FOUNDER'S EXAMPLE HONOR ROLL TRIBUTE TO HIS DAD - WHOSE MEMORIAL FLAGPOLE INSPIRED THIS NONPROFIT PROJECT ]

Vietnam Veteran born and raised in Boston, Massachusetts.
20 year Army career (1967-1987) in Aviation and Corps of Engineers.
Awarded Silver Star, Bronze Star, and numerous Air Medals while serving as scout helicopter pilot in Vietnam.
Died December 8, 2008, age 62, of a Vietnam War related illness 
Survived by wife, Ellen Sweeney, two children and three grandchildren.
We honor and thank U.S. Army Lieutenant Colonel Ed Sweeney Jr. for defending our freedoms and fighting to liberate the lives of others.

​Ed Sweeney Jr. inspires us with his leadership - how he looked out for the welfare of his men:
Chief Warrant Officer Frank Glenn, a fellow Vietnam War scout helicopter pilot of Platoon Leader Ed Sweeney, repeated Captain Sweeney's directive to his 9 scout pilots, "Don't be a cowboy, don't take any unnecessary risks, no hot-dogging, and don't get your crew killed.  Your job is to return to base everyday."
