Statement Regarding Master Sgt. Corey Hood
U.S. Army Parachute Team, the Golden Knights
Aug. 19, 2015 | 2:44
A member of the U.S. Army Parachute Team (USAPT), the Golden Knights, who died August 16 of injuries suffered in a midair parachuting accident at the Chicago Air and Water Show was posthumously promoted Monday to the rank of master sergeant.

Master Sgt. Corey Hood was on the promotion list for master sergeant at the time of his death.

Hood was selected for promotion “for his demonstrated leadership abilities and tactical and technical expertise,” said Lt. Col. Matthew Weinrich, USAPT commander, in a video statement.

Weinrich remembered Hood as a dedicated non-commissioned officer who dreamed of being a Golden Knight and enjoyed the unique mission of the unit.

“Corey loved being a Golden Knight. He loved connecting the American people with their Army. He loved meeting with the people on the ground and sharing his Soldier story. Corey’s story was extraordinary because he was an extraordinary Soldier,” Weinrich said.

The unit is currently in a safety stand down in order to review procedures and processes within the unit, conduct team-focused training, participate in the accident investigation and pursue grief counseling as needed. The team is focused on supporting the Hood family, Weinrich said. The accident investigation continues.
