On May 27, 1951, a bouncing baby boy entered the world and his parents decided that he should have the namesake of his father as he would be called Vester, born to Vester and Olla Alexander in Tishomingo, Mississippi. As an energetic and curious young man, he attended Tishomingo High School. Upon graduating from Tishomingo High School, he attended Northeast Community College. Vester, who never met a stranger and was always quick to lend a helping hand to those in need, then he decided it was time for him to serve his country. Vester then embarked on a military career with the Army that spanned several decades and included numerous awards, citations and accomplishments. In 2006 he made the difficult decision to retire as a Sergeant First Class citing the need to spend more time with family, his church family and friends.
