Charles STRATTON

Late condolences to the Stratton family. I knew COL Stratton and his family when I was a toddler living on Madison Street, Bellevue, NE. COL Stratton and my Dad were both pilots stationed at Offutt AFB, Bellevue, NE. I remember COL Stratton as a highly polished squared away USAF officer and famous pilot. RIP COL Stratton, you were a hero and fine example for your sons Bobby and Johnny and all of the kids who were growing up on Madison Street, Bellevue, NE. Lord, please continue to...

Dad, it's been 5 years since you left us and the pain of your passing still bears down on me like a ton of bricks. There's barely a day that goes by without reflecting on the impact you had on my life. My sadness from losing you is only lessened by knowing that you and mom are together again in heaven. I love you and miss you terribly. Until we reunite some day in the loving arms of Our Lord Jesus Christ, I will continue to do my best to live by the strict code of honor you taught me since...

Col. Stratton was our Wing Commander @ DMAFB, AZ when we made the move to Beale AFB joining with SR-71 personnel. A great airman and will be missed by the U-2 community. Sending prayers to all his family members as "Chuck" has made his "final flight" soaring way above where "Eagles Soar".

Robert, This is a great story about one of our heroes. I am glad you mentioned this to us (HAV Western Wear). It's hard to lose a parent,but you'll remember him in your memories.
Take good care of your Mom.
Sincerely
Vikki Hoskins

Chuck was a real icon. Thoroughly enjoyed knowing him for the past several years via Daedalians and Quiet Birdmen. Will miss him.

The Washington State Veterans Cemetery extends our deepest sympathies to the family of Charles Stratton for your loss. We honor him for the service and sacrifice he made for our country, he is a true hero.

Sorry to hear of Chuck's passing. We enjoyed knowing your through the Compass activities and all of Chuck's stories. Our prayers to you and your family.

God is with him now, going straight to heaven in a 747 non-stop. Looking back and missing all the wonderful visits at the White Elephant and at our home. He was the greatest. Honored to know him. God willing, we will be at the memorial service.
