Amidst the serene Arizona backdrop, we kicked off the Marine Corps Law Enforcement Foundation's 18th Annual Golf Tournament with utmost respect and gratitude. ποΈββοΈ
Bernie Falchook (Left in Pic. 2), a WWII Veteran, led us in the Pledge of Allegiance, embodying the spirit of service and sacrifice. π Ava from the Jubilate Conservatory of Music delivered a traditional performance of the National Anthem, stirring our souls with patriotic pride. πΆ
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. ποΈ
