HEARD
HARRY EUGENE HEARD HARRY HEARD His send off was in cadence with his
magnanimous and cantankerous personality. He used his knowledge of
veteran affairs along with his booming voice and imposing stature to act
as a strong advocate for veterans, their spouses and dependents. And so,
with great pomp and pageantry and a twenty-one-gun salute befitting of
such a man, Harry Eugene Heard was laid to rest March 18, 2009. He
passed away March 12, 2009 from injuries that he sustained from an
automobile accident in his hometown of McDonough, Georgia. Harry was
born June 7, 1939 in Atlanta, Georgia. He spent his formative years in
Detroit where he attended elementary, middle school, and later graduated
Northwestern High School. Afterwards his adventurous spirit led him to
join the United States Air Force where he traveled stateside and to far
off lands such as Japan, Korea, Europe and Vietnam where he sustained
injuries and was awarded a Purple Heart. Mr. Heard also received many
other medals, awards, and citations during his 20 years of service and
retired as a Hydraulic Specialist with the rank of Master Sergeant.
After retiring from the Air Force, he returned to Detroit where he
worked briefly as a file clerk with the Department of Veteran Affairs in
the Patrick V. McNamara building. Shortly thereafter, he was hired as a
National Service Officer with the Disabled American Veterans (DAV) where
he retired with over 15 years of service. During this time, he also
completed his education and graduated from Wayne State University with a
Bachelors in Sociology. He later returned to his native Georgia where he
was employed as a Veterans Representative with DeVry University. His
final employment was with the Military Order of the Purple Hearts as a
Field Service Supervisor. Harry was a member of many civic and
professional organizations. He was a Life Member of the DAV. He also
served as past Commander of the DAV for Keane-Rankin Detroit Chapter #1.
He was also a Life Member of the Military Order of the Purple Hearts,
Life Member of Veterans of Foreign Wars, and the Georgia Chapter of the
Tuskegee Airmen. He was also a 33degree Mason. He enjoyed stamp and coin
collecting, and drawing, but his greatest passion was listening to jazz
music with a penchant for bebop. His interest in jazz coupled with
military and other history, was evident in his record and film library,
which boasted over 3,000 tapes. Harry was a tireless advocate in his
pursuit of service to veterans and did so after retirement and until his
death. Family, friends and well-wishers spoke of how their lives had
been impacted by having known him. He was buried in his military
uniform, resplendent with ribbons and medals, as he would have liked.
Burial at Arlington National Cemetery.
