A memorial service was held in Cherry Valley for Leonard Keller. He received the military's highest honor in 1968 for his service during the Vietnam War. Keller lived in Florida until recently, when he flipped his motorcycle after leaving a veterans club. His family says he has always respected the military and would have been proud to see so many veterans attending a service in his honor.
Keller was just in Cherry Valley in July to serve as Grand Marshall of the town's 4th of July parade.
