A Tribute to the Silent Keys of Region Ten

Not all heroes fought in a major battle,

rescued their comrades from certain death, or even served on the front lines. A hero is someone who goes out of their way, makes a personal sacrifice, to do something for another without thought of reward. There is nothing in it for them except perhaps the personal satisfaction of knowing someone is just a little better off in some way. Some heroes get front page headlines for a single event; most go unrecognized even by those they served.

Here are but a few who were,

"Serving Those Who Serve"

to the end.

This certainly is not a complete list. It is based on information collected in the region database over the past several years and records available from Chief MARS. In some cases recollections of a member still with us filled in a gap or two. If you can help fill any of the remaing gaps please drop me a note. AS0 Five

If you know of a silent key who should be on the list please send the information to AS0 Five. Please do not send sensitive information via message. Use e-mail, or other more private means. Include as much as you know: Call sign, name, city, state, date of death and MEBD or number of years in MARS (as close as you know them), and your source of confirmation. We will make every effort to confirm eligibility. To qualify for this SK list the member had to be a member of Region Ten at the time of his or her passing. Members who resigned or moved to another region do not qualify.
