A touching tribute to Johanna Rosario Pichardo, Sergeant, U.S Marine Corps and her family. She made the ultimate sacrifice and saved thousands of lives in Afghanistan. Rest in Power, Johanna Rosario Pichardo, Sergeant, United States Marine Corps. You will never be forgotten.

It was a privilege for me to present the Redgate family with a replica of 1LT Thomas Redgate’s Hero Square. 1LT Redgate was killed in action during the Korean War. 1LT Redgate returns home today after more than seventy years. WELCOME HOME 1LT Redgate and Rest In Peace.

I want to wish a Happy Thanksgiving to everyone; to active duty service members, my fellow veterans and their families. Especially to those service members overseas and at sea. While the war is over we cannot forget we maintain a presence around the world. #thankful

An honor to witness the installation of officers this week for the Boston Chinese American Citizens Alliance. The Boston C.A.C.A played a major role in the successful WWII Chinese American Congressional Gold Medal event held at Faneuil Hall.
