On Veteran's Day 2002 Ohio's Congresswomen Marcy Kapture presented
The Silver Rose award to Bernie, The Vietnam Peace memorial was also dedicated that day. Bernie was the first veteran
in Toledo to receive the The Silver Rose, he had no idea he was receiving the award it was a complete surprise. When
they called his name to come forward I think he went into shock, Linda had to nudge him forward a bit before it sunk in and
he started to walk up there. He was so honored and proud of receiving this award. Linda Berry is now a
co-director of The Silver Rose here in Toledo. http://www.silverrose.org

night to visit violence on those who would do us harm. ~Orwell~
