HESTER, CHARLES

Hester was an avid guitar player and once made the pilgrimage to Jimi Hendrix's grave, where he buried a guitar pick.

"Hester loved the oldies," recalled his former squad leader, Staff Sgt. Chess Johnson. "I could never come up with a song that he couldn't come up with the lyrics, perfectly."

And when the boys in the back of the Stryker mangled a tune, "he was never shy about correcting us. His voice would come over the squawk box and tell us how to sing the song."
