Surrounded by family and friends, last month, 94-year-old Sgt. Walter Leman Messley celebrated his birthday and he had one final wish - to have his service and legacy honored one last time with his loved ones. On Sunday, April 2, 2023, two members of the Idaho Army National Guard’s Honor Guard joined Messley’s family and friends at Meridian Meadows Transitional Care to honor his service with a flag-folding ceremony and present him with his own flag in recognition of his service.
