Founders FCU Helps Remember War Dead

CHESTER, S.C. – Family and life-long friends of Logan Tinsley gathered here yesterday to remember the life of the Army Medic, the first resident to die in the Iraq and Afghanistan wars. Tinsley’s name was etched in black granite along side 158 other veterans who died in battle during World War I, World War II, the Korean War and the Vietnam War, and prompted a new monument in front of the county’s War Memorial, which was erected with a contribution from Founders FCU. The town’s newest monument was unveiled during Memorial Day’s ceremony honoring Tinsley, the 21-year-old Army Specialist who died in Iraq the day after Christmas in an overturned Humvee. Founders FCU worked with the Chester County Veterans Services Director and County Supervisor’s office to buy the monument and design the memorial for the current war.
