Captain Dee "Piston" Imlay Memorial - 10 a.m. April 6 in Hangar 208

Fellow Gunfighters,

A memorial service will be held for Captain Dee "Piston" Imlay at 10 a.m. April 6 in Hangar 208. Civilians are invited to attend in casual business attire and military in UOD.

Captain Imlay, 391st Fighter Squadron, died March 28 in an accident involving an F-15E Strike Eagle near a base in Southwest Asia. Capt Imlay was a tremendous fighter pilot who played a vital role in supporting Operation Enduring Freedom. As a member of one of the world's most advanced and highly skilled fighter squadrons, Piston had an enormous impact on our Gunfighter mission.

This memorial service will allow Gunfighters to come together, pay our respects and mourn our tremendous loss as a family. The family of Captain Imlay very much appreciates the outpouring of support that they have received from their friends, the local community and their fellow Gunfighters.
