Leon Ellington McKinney

West Point, 1955

Be Thou At Peace

Posted by COL Kevin R. Golinghorst, USMA '96 on March 19, 2022:

I learned about COL Leon E. McKinney nearly 2 years after his death. I recognized his name as one of many former Commanders of the St. Louis District of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) but his family did a tremendous job of sharing a window into his life with this obituary that I found online:

V/r,
