Roland B. Scott

The Colonel was a true Southern gentleman in the finest sense of those words - elegant, charming, impeccable manners. Alan and I will miss spending time with him and hearing his wonderful stories. What a fabulous daughter he and Elizabeth produced in Dixie!

Great men are like great mountians,they will always be remembered!

God Bless America! GodBless Col. Scott!

I truly wish I could have known Lt Col Scott personally. His generation I respect more than any other & it sounds that he was one of the reasons it was so great.

It was a great honor to be present & perform military honors at his funeral. I've played taps hundreds of times but it never gets any easier to play. It's the most moving part of the ceremony for myself & gives me a great sense of pride for my service to this great nation & the U.S. Air Force. It also brings about...

I did not personally know Colonel Roland B. Scott. But, I was aware of his exploits In Europe during World War I.I. I do know his Brother General Robert L. Scott.
I send my deepest sympathy and condolences to the Family of Colonel Roland B. Scott.

I am Scotty's youngest daughter Dixie and as I sit here tonight reading through all these beautiful notes, I am reading through my tears. These tears are of sorrow for I miss my Father more than words can ever say, but they are also tears of joy for this man, my Dad, has touched more lives than I could ever have imagined..more than he EVER IMAGINED. This great Hero..my Dad, has helped us all to live in a freedom many others in this world will never know. Through my pain, I find comfort in...

My condolences to the family of a true hero; one who pioneered B-26 combat bombing against the forces of evil, and paved the way for we who followed. These first disastrous low-level missions changed the thinking of the use of the B-26 in higher Headquarters and resulted in a higher altitude approach which allowed many of us to complete our 65 mission tours in comparative safer conditions.
