Flag-waving appreciation greeted veterans, Soldiers and their families during three large-scale events that marked Huntsville’s and North Alabama’s recognition of Veterans Day. Besides the parade, military and community leaders participated in a dinner Nov. 10 and a breakfast Nov. 11.
A crowd of 600 military and community leaders attended the Veterans Day Dinner at the Von Braun Center, during which four veterans were inducted in the Madison County Military Heritage Commission’s Hall of Heroes. They are: retired Marine Lt. Gen. Frank Libutti, retired Air Force Maj. Robert Karkowski, and the Army’s retired Master Sgt. Arvil Burchfield and veteran D. Leonard Robinson.
In addition, 14 veterans received Purple Hearts from the Military Order of World Wars. They are: Raymond Virgil Ashburn (posthumously), Burchfield, Thomas Richard Crutcher Jr., Rob Glasier, Jeffrey A. Hall (posthumously), Ira P. Jones Jr., Johnnie B. Pruitt, Thomas C. Reed, Benny G. Seales, Ralph W. Snowden, Allan C. Stump, Matt Thome, Everett T. Tidwell and Danny R. Vinson.
But the biggest surprise of the night came with the announcement of the winners of the Veteran of the Year Award -- retired Chief Warrant Officer 4 Max Bennett – and the Lifetime Achievement Award – veteran retired Sgt. 1st Class David Carney.
