Dr. Gene Watts Slagle

Will miss my usher partner of years past. Seems a short time ago we celebrated your 90th at East Ridge. Love And prayers to the family for your loss.

My thoughts and prayers go out to Dr. Slagle's family and friends. May the Lord bless and comfort each of you.

The Final Salute

Brothers in Arms, Military men and women down through the centuries, have traditionally exchanged Hand Salutes as a sign of recognition and as a way to render courtesy and respect one to another.

This Hand Salute is the last that we shall render to Gene Watts Slagle, MD our Brother-in-Arms. To his family it symbolizes the love and respect that we have for Dr. Slagle. To Dr. Slagle it is rendered as a symbol of honor and gratitude to thank him for the devoted and selfless service he rendered to his country during the Korean War while serving in the U.S. Navy Medical Corps and later as a Flight Surgeon in the U.S. Air Force. Dr. Slagle, we commend you for your honorable military and medical service. You are a true patriot, who served with honor and distinction. You upheld the finest qualities of an American patriot warrior: courage, commitment, generosity, sacrifice, love and devotion to family and country. You were a true friend. We bid you a sad farewell. You will be dearly missed from among our ranks. Be at Ease. Rest in Peace.

On behalf of the 961 military veteran Legionnaires of Lowe-McFarlane Post 14 of the American Legion and the 177 veterans of VFW Post 2238 in Shreveport, Louisiana, we extend our sympathies and our condolences to Dr. Slagle's family and loved ones.
