To the Wonderful Family of Lambert Lehman Hailey:

I was privileged to get to know Mr. Hailey, as the Father of my childhood friend, Tom Hill. It did not take a great deal of time to soon learn that Mr. Hailey was a most impressive man, in so many categories. In addition to being a military hero, he was also an incredibly warm and caring person - a man in which one instantly understood the honor, attached to being able to call Mr Hailey a  friend.

What I most remember from those childhood years, was the remarkable consistency of Mr. Hailey's personality.  Everytime that we visted their family home, Mr. Hailey was always very welcoming, jovial, and incredibly friendly. Mr. Hailey always made the visitor feel like a visiting celebrity.

Mr. Hailey also had a wonderful sense of humor, and always presented an energy and enthusiasm for life and family. He was also very gracious and dis-inclined to draw any attention to his own lifetime of business achievments and military heroism. He seemed much more interested in asking questions about the other person, rather than mentioning much about his own life.

In his later years, I was honored to have the opportunity to briefly discuss, with him,  some elements of his military history in the Korean War. It seems that Mr. Hailey was heavily involved in the landings at both, Pusan and Inchon - two of the most important military operations during the early stages  of the American involvement in Korea in 1950. 

This clearly qualifies Mr. Hailey as a consummate war hero, in that these operations were periods of some of the most intense fighting - and these heroic and successful  military efforts, pushed back the North Korean troops to well above the 38th Parallel.

I feel supremely blessed and privileged to have been granted the opportunity to know this great man: Mr. Lambert Lehmen Hailey. Please know that Mr. Hailey's legacy will always be honored and cherished by our very grateful family.

Love Always,
Neal and Michelle Devitt

Haileyville will be in our hearts forever.
