Pottsville PA, 17901

The Patriot Guard Riders have been asked to honor Quarter Master 3rd Class
Leo F. Haley, with an escort to his final rest at Indiantown Gap National
Cemetery. Leo enlisted in the Navy in 1952, shortly after graduating from
Pottsville Catholic High School, where he was class president. He served
aboard the USS Canisteo, a fleet oiler, for 2 1/2 years, being attached to
the staff of the commander-in-chief of the Atlantic Fleet for six months
during the Korean War. Trained as a visual signalman, he was honorably
discharged at the rank of QM3 in November 1955. He received the Good
Conduct and World War II European Occupation medals and served in the
Inactive Reserves.
A member of the Catholic War Veterans for 52 years Leo Haley has served as
commander of Post 1051 since 1993 and served as national commander of the
organization from August 2011-August 2013. Also, a member of the VFW and
American Legion and various other military organization, his accolades are
too lengthy to mention. We have been asked to escort QM3 Leo F. Haley to
his final rest at Indiantown Gap National Cemetery where we will stand to
honor his service to our nation. QM3 Leo F. Haley is a true American
Patriot that has served this nation with honor. Now it's our turn to stand
and honor him
