Staff Sgt. Kendrix D. Graham escorts Nancy, Debbie and Scott Hazelbaker after the memorial service for retired Marine Col. Vincil W. Hazelbaker, at the Hawaiian Memorial Park Cemetery on March 24, 2017. After the ceremony, helicopters from Marine Aircraft Group 24 conducted a missing man formation, which is an aerial salute performed during a flypast of aircraft at a memorial event, typically in memory of a fallen pilot. Hazelbaker was a Marine aviator who served in the military for 34 years. During his service, he flew more than 680 combat missions and earned the Navy Cross for his extraordinary heroism during the Vietnam War. “If Dad stood here today, he would have saluted and said ‘well done’” said Brad Hazelbaker, Wayne’s son.
