Moe Bailey Laid to Rest

Ellen Lockyer, KSKA – Anchorage

Wasilla’s Maurice “Moe” Bailey was laid to rest today with full military honors at Fort Richardson National Cemetery.  Bailey, who died of leukemia last week at age 71, was the force behind Veterans Aviation Outreach, a volunteer organization that assisted Alaska’s military veterans with everything from free air transport for medical care to moose meat giveaways.   KSKA’s Ellen Lockyer spoke with Bailey a couple of years ago as he was organizing a veterans aid flight to Southwest Alaska.
