As we honor our fallen heroes here is a Stafford connection to the legendary Tuskegee Airman.
Stafford County real estate appraiser Brandon White proudly displays a portrait of his father Lt. William White, one of the original Tuskegee Airman.
William White was born in Smithfield, Virginia in 1926. He was drafted in 1945 and served his nation with honor and distinction. After receiving an honorable discharge, Mr. White returned home and married Elsie, his wife of 65 years. Being a humble man, Mr. White never spoke publicly of his service or time with the famed Tuskegee Airman.
His lone surviving child, Brandon White works in the Commissioner's office as a real estate appraiser. We thank and honor both men for their commitment to public service.
Happy Memorial Day everyone and thank you to those who served and sacrificed.
