Yesterday, Carefree hosted a heartwarming welcome ceremony at our Veterans Memorial for four distinguished heroes of our nation, the Medal of Honor recipients. 🎖️
Amidst the serene Arizona backdrop, we kicked off the Marine Corps Law Enforcement Foundation's 18th Annual Golf Tournament with utmost respect and gratitude. 🏌️♂️
Bernie Falchook (Left in Pic. 2), a WWII Veteran, led us in the Pledge of Allegiance, embodying the spirit of service and sacrifice. 🙌 Ava from the Jubilate Conservatory of Music delivered a traditional performance of the National Anthem, stirring our souls with patriotic pride. 🎶
In the presence of true valor, we honored Harvey "Barney" Barnum (First in Pic. 1), Brian Thacker (Second in Pic. 1), Robert Martin Patterson (Third in Pic. 1), and Salvatore Giunta (Fourth in Pic. 1) - remarkable individuals who received the Medal of Honor for their extraordinary acts of bravery and sacrifice during the Vietnam War and the War in Afghanistan. 🎖️
The event drew over two dozen Legion Riders, as well as several other veterans and Carefree residents, each paying their respects to these esteemed men. 🏍️
It was an unforgettable gathering, providing a platform for these heroes to share their experiences and shed light on the invaluable work of the Marine Corps Law Enforcement Foundation. 🌟
Let us continue to honor, support, and remember their sacrifices.
