Ray Delpesche, Commander of VFW Post 1177 Leesburg, Gene Odum, VFW Post 1177 Leesburg and Eli Contes, VFW Post 1177 Leesburg wait for the call, "Kickstands up," to pull out of Herndon on the Sunday before Memorial Day. Delpesche displays the MIA/POW badge on the front of his leather. Asked what Memorial Day means to him, Delpesche requoted Robert O'Neill, ex-Navy Seal known as "the man who killed Osama bin Laden” and recited, “Memorial Day is time for reflection, pause and remembrance and thanksgiving for patriots who gave up their own lives to protect the lives and freedom of us all."
