Scott helping his mother hang up a sign. 

Tahoma National Cemetery

I was stationed at Joint Base Lewis McChord with LTC Flanders. I was assigned as the Air and Missile Defense officer for the 16th Combat Aviation Brigade while he was the Air & Missile Defense Chief in I Corps. He always supported me and eventually brought me up to the I Corps "America's Corps!" Headquarters to work as his deputy until he PCS'D to Ft. Drum. He was a great mentor, devoted father, generous, and kind while I knew him. I was terribly sadden to hear of his passing from COVID-19 while TDY in San Antonio. He was the best Air Defense Officer I'd ever worked for.
