Colonel Sam Digirolamo

Join us on Operation Insight as we host Colonel Sam Digirolamo of the U.S. Air Force & Missouri Air National Guard!

 

In April of 2023, back when the museum was still named "The St. Charles County Veterans Museum", a special Vietnam Veterans Remembrance Day was hosted. The keynote speaker for that event was none other than Colonel Sam Digirolamo, USAF (Ret.). Sam was plain and frank about his time as an F-100 Super Sabre pilot in Vietnam back then and he is even more so now. Sam dutifully represents those who cannot or will not share their own stories and he represents them well!
