Remembering Master Sergeant Corey Hood
Posthumously-promoted Master Sergeant Corey Hood, an Army Golden Knights parachutist, who died in a parachuting accident last week, was remembered on Lakota West High School football field by friends and family. From the Associated Press, his military parachute teammates parachuted into the memorial service;
The military skydiver, joined by a team of professionals, fulfilled the wish of U.S. Army Master Sgt. Corey Hood, who had long wanted to parachute on to the field where he played as a youth, the Cincinnati Enquirer reported.
“He was highly competitive and didn’t want to lose at anything,” Larry Cox, his high school football coach, told the hundreds of mourners who gathered in the stands at Lakota West High School. “I think it correlated with why he became such a great soldier.”

Rest well, MSG.
Dusty in here.
RIP, warrior.
Hood enlisted upon graduation from Lakota West High School in 2001. He was a football player and wrestler at the school and was interviewed just last year for a Veterans Day tribute to Lakota West grads who joined the service. It was during this interview that he said he would like to jump onto the football field. The school did not forget him and urged everyone to wear red in his honor.
Rest in well deserved peace now MSG Hood. A true warrior. God be with your family.
RIP, MSG Hood!
Amen.
HooYah, MSG Hood!
God bless and protect MSG Hood and his loved ones.
God speed, MSG Hood.
RIP Sfc Hood. A fitting final tribute to him.
Airborne! All the Way!
As the Billy Ray Cyrus song goes, “All gave some, some gave all”. May God see to it this man finds his way to a better life in Heaven.
