Lee 'Swab' Berra's Memorial Fund

Donation protected
A brilliant shinning star that was taken from us much too early, Major Lee 'Swab' Berra will be sorely missed by his friends, classmates, wingmen, and Tiger but most of all by his family and beloved wife Sydney.  Lee's love of life was absolute, his smile infectious, his passion for flying matchless and his love for Sydney unadulterated.  

Lee gave the last ten years of his life in service of this great country.  He served as a bomber pilot defending the free world from extremist threats in the Middle East and most recently as a test pilot in the United States Air Force.  In the short time since his graduation from Test Pilot School, he has made a tremendous impact developing and testing military aircraft that will provide coalition men and women in uniform with incomparable equipment.  Knowing Lee and his dedication to God and Country, he likely would have given ten more years, ensuring the safety and security of our great nation and our allies for decades to come.

On Wednesday January 25th 2017, Lee was called to heaven after a tragic accident while flying his aircraft, a Cirrus SR22, leaving all his friends and family wondering how and why this could happen to such an accomplished pilot and remarkable young man.   All funds collected are intended to be used by Sydney and the Berra family for present and future financial burdens that may occur as a result of his loss.

Thank you in advance for your generosity at this heartbreaking time.
