During this Veteran's Day ceremony celebrating Arlington's World War II flying ace, 
Colonel Neel E. Kearby, we will unveil a display that includes replicas of the numerous 
medals he received for his heroics. The display's centerpiece is the Congressional Medal of Honor. 

 

Col. Kearby spent his formative years in Arlington, obtaining his high school education 
and attending college here. He was shot down and killed in the Pacific Theater in 1944. 
His body was eventually recovered then reburied in Dallas in 1949.
