I was with Mrs. Pickens daughter-in-law and she was telling me about her husbands cousin being killed in the war and it brought to my mine about the tree being dedicated to him. I though it would be fitting to add this to the space for the bio.
Milton lived to be 20 years, 5 months and 7 days old.
May God Bless this young Hero's memory. He died that our country would be free.

Ensign Pickens died in a plane crash during a training flight from Glenview Naval Air Base in Glenview, Illinois. His plane went down in Deerfield, Illinois; later the Deerfield Public Library would be constructed on the spot and named in honor of Ensign Pickens. The library was rededicated to him in 2004 and again in 2013.
