As an Air Force NCO, Leesburg s Bob Peters was a key player on the ground team in Thailand that ensured the skies over Vietnam had the requisite number of F4 Phantoms on station in support of America s Soldiers and Marines.
Civilian life saw him climbing utility poles in the northeast and, later, serving with aplomb as an accomplished union representative whose gotta take care of the troops attitude has nourished a third career as a professional volunteer, according to our WQBQ-AM 1410 LZ LAKEHAWK colleague, retired Col. Ric Baysinger of the Florida Army National Guard.
Fellow Air Force Vietnam veteran Gary Kadow, executive director of Project SOS (Support Our Soldiers, Inc.) told the Daily Commercial in 2019 that Bob is laser-focused on the plight of too many of our veterans – and what we can do to make it better.
