💙✈️ Today, on what would have been LeRoy W. Homer Jr.’s 61st birthday, we celebrate his life and the lasting impact he continues to have on so many.

LeRoy dreamed of flying from the time he was a child. He earned his private pilot license as a teenager and went on to serve as a U.S. Air Force pilot and United Airlines First Officer, serving as First Officer of United Flight 93 on September 11, 2001.

That childhood dream of flight continues to inspire young aviators today. Through the Foundation created in his memory, 40 scholarship recipients have been given the opportunity to begin aviation journeys of their own.

Seeing so many of our recipients together this past weekend was a beautiful reminder of how one life and one dream can inspire so many others.

Happy birthday, LeRoy. Remembered with love, celebrated always, and still inspiring dreams of flight. 💙✈️
