He graduated in 1949, and joined the United States Navy in 1951. He was a Seaman Recruit when he and Elva June Collins married June 9, 1952.

Bill and Elva had five children in ten years, and moved as Bill’s work with the United States Government needed, first to be near the Chincoteague Auxiliary Naval Air Station, Virginia, then the Naval Air Station Patuxent River, Maryland, then finally to Fauquier County, Virginia, to be near the Vint Hill Farms Station, a United States Army and National Security Agency (NSA) intelligence and electronic warfare facility. He earned numerous accolades and certifications during the thirty-eight years of his service to his country. Bill’s work took him away from his family for lengthy stretches at times as he traveled around the world, including Turkey, Korea, and Germany. His expertise and knowledge was tapped during the Bay of Pigs crisis, as well as travels behind The Berlin Wall (past Checkpoint Charlie) into East Germany.
Upon his retirement in 1989, Bill Horn was presented with a United States flag that had flown over the White House.
After the discovery of a cancerous tumor and the removal of one kidney, and then the addition of a pacemaker, Bill and Elva lived full lives in retirement helping raise grandchildren and traveling visiting family and friends. Bill enjoyed collecting, repairing, and restoring antique radios. His knowledge on the hobby was extensive. Bill also spent more than twenty years researching and compiling his and Elva’s genealogy.
He dated his Horn family line back to the 1500’s. Bill made a copy of the family tree for every family member.

MEDICAL INFORMATION
SHOULD COME FROM
MEDICAL SOURCES
Social media can be a wonderful means of keeping in touch with friends and relatives, especially during quarantines. Unfortunately, despite the best efforts of these companies to remove it, social media is also the leading tool for disseminating false information. When it comes to medical info about the corona virus, it’s best to check the CDC or WHO websites, or contact your physician directly. You will find accurate information about how to know if you may have the virus, what to do to prevent it, and whether you need treatment. There are no home or over-the-counter remedies for corona virus, and it is always best to speak with your doctor if you have any questions or concerns.
In an effort to keep hospitals from being overwhelmed and to keep higher-risk folks safe, many offices are canceling nonessential appointments or transitioning in-person visits to telemedicine appointments. If your provider hasn’t canceled or rescheduled your in-person appointments, ask whether your appointment can be done via a video visit. Please call MOSER FUNERAL HOME at (540) 347-3431 if you are in need of funeral services. We are located at
P.S. According to the Harvard Gazette, there is so much misinformation being distributed on social media that it is actually drowning out real public health guidance.
