As we continue our tributes during the month of May—leading up to Memorial Day—we honor the extraordinary life and service of Col Lesley L. Kersey, USAF, Ret., ’65.
Kersey embodied the values of duty, honor, and respect throughout his remarkable 26-year career in the U.S. Air Force. Commissioned upon graduation, he quickly distinguished himself as a fearless fighter pilot during the Vietnam War, flying combat missions in the F-4 Phantom and serving as a Tiger Fast Forward Air Controller (Tiger FAC) at Korat Royal Thai Air Force Base.
Colonel Kersey rose through the ranks to command the 480th Tactical Fighter Squadron in Germany and later served as Director of Operations at HQ United States Air Forces in Europe—one of the rare staff officers authorized to fly the F-16 Falcon in the line of duty.
Among his many accolades, Kersey was awarded the Legion of Merit, the Distinguished Flying Cross, the Meritorious Service Medal, and the Air Medal with numerous oak leaf clusters—each a testament to his valor, leadership, and dedication.
After retiring from the Air Force, he continued to lead with distinction in the private sector, while also serving his community through volunteer work in Edenton, N.C. Kersey’s legacy extends far beyond his military service.
This May, and always, we remember and honor Colonel Les Kersey—a brother in arms, a Citadel man, and a true American hero—and all of our deceased alumni who served.
