Smyrna, TN, Holds Vigil For Blue Angels Pilot
June 2, 2016
Hundreds of residents of Smyrna, TN, gathered at a ballpark near their airport Thursday night in a candlelight prayer vigil to show their sympathy to the United States Blue Angels. They were also honoring an American hero — pilot Jeff Kuss, who they are crediting with giving his own life to save the lives of civilians near the crash site.
During the vigil, the residents observed six minutes of silence followed by the singing of “God Bless America”.

Terrible loss, I saw them in CA. Boyhood inspiration to watch these folks. Prayers go to the family. These are the people who lead us…
Only one reply and the folks in Tennessee held a candle light vigil for our lost ANGEL?
Shame on us!
A sad day indeed.
Prayers for the pilots family and the rest of the Blues as they deal with this terrible tragedy.
