Leon Ellington McKinney

West Point, 1955

Be Thou At Peace

Posted by Tom Sims on May 18, 2020:



Lee was my company commander at Camp Buckner the summer of 1952 and I thought he was the best company commander I had at West Point.

I don't remember having any contact with Lee after Camp Buckner until he became a frequent poster on the '55 email Forum. We then exchanged a lot of private emails about many things.

Lee was a good man.
