In honor of Salute our Troops this year, we decided to Salute WWII Navy Seaman 1st Class William Keesee on Thunder TV this week. Mr. Keesee born on June 3rd, 1925 served in the military from 1943-1946. In honor of his 89th birthday recently, Mr. Keesee decided to tandem jump out of an airplane at the Tullahoma Airport. After his 14,000 feet jump, Mr. Keesee said that it was like floating in the air. It was beautiful. At this time Thunder Radio would like to Salute William Keesee and thank him for his service. Remember to Salute your Troops by logging onto Thunder Radio’s Facebook Page and Messaging us a Picture and Story. All submissions must be received by Friday, June 27th. To see Mr. Keesee’s Jump, watch Thunder TV’s news video online at WMSRRadio.com. If you would like to see any of our previous Thunder TV News videos check out our Youtube Channel: WMSRradio.
