Today, the life and legacy of 2nd Lt. Samuel G. Leftenant was honored in a memorial service at Arlington National Cemetery. Leftenant was reported ‘Missing-In-Action” on April 12, 1945, after the P-51 Mustang he was piloting collided with another P-51 while escorting bombers over Europe during World War II. He was declared dead in 1946, though no remains were recovered, and was posthumously awarded the Air Medal and Purple Heart.
