First Lt. Robert “Rob” Wilson II, a former aviation officer assigned to the 1st Battalion, 227th Aviation Regiment, 1st Air Cavalry Brigade, 1st Cavalry Division holds his young son, now 1st Lt. Robert Wilson III, a platoon leader assigned to Company D of the 2nd “Lancer” Battalion, 5th Cavalry Regiment, 1st “Ironhorse” Brigade Combat Team, 1st Cavalry Division in May 1989 in Killeen, Texas. This picture was taken only months before Rob was killed in a helicopter crash during training. “I’m told frequently by my mom and by (my dad’s) parents that I’m very similar to how he was,” Wilson said. “It gives me a pretty clear picture of how he was as a person, which I never really got to experience.” (Photo courtesy of Darlene “Cookie” Wilson)
