For this week's #MemorialHistory, we honor David H. Hansen, the State Pilot of South Dakota. His legacy of professionalism, humility, bravery, and love for God, family, and country continues to inspire. Let us remember his words: "You have not lived until you've almost died. For those who fight for it, life has a flavor the protected will never know." #MustangPride
