Bronze Star Recipient
I had the best seat in the house for a Bronze Star medal ceremony at the Port of Long Beach, honoring US Navy Commander, Stephen M. Ruggiero. I don’t think I have ever felt so proud to be part of an American tradition.
Elegance, organization, structure, professionalism, pride…
I was pretty moved.
