Since he was a seminarian and student during the Vietnam War, The Rev. William “Bill” B. Leone was never called up to serve in the military.
Leone did, however, see his friends go to war. He saw some come home injured and some who didn’t come home at all.
That’s why, just a few years after being ordained in 1974, Leone jumped at the chance to sign on as a chaplain with the New York Army National Guard.
Leone will get a chance Tuesday to pay homage to those who served their nation when he takes part in Irondequoit’s annual Veterans Day observance.
