The “Mighty Shrikes” of VFA-94, the squadron that Lex commanded, will conduct a fly-over. The family has graciously invited Lex’s many friends and fans here [...]  I mourn the passing of a great naval aviator, a professional analyst of all things naval, and a soulful and compelling writer of poetry and prose – Ray Mabus, SecNav. cross-posted at Naval Institute blog
