Our Unit again supported the Medal of Honor recipients who were scheduled to be hosted at a dinner specifically to celebrate their exceptionally brave heroism during various wars. We had the privilege of recognizing Lieutenant Harvey Barnum and Sergeant Gary Beikirch, who distinguished themselves during the Vietnam War, and Staff Sergeant David Bellavia, who distinguished himself during the War in Iraq. With the support of our Junior members and contributions from Great Neck South High School, we sent each one a box containing homemade cards, sweat shirts, t-shirts, and box art that said, ”Heroes don’t wear capes. They wear dog tags.”
