Larry was drafted into the army in 1969 and enlisted for a three-year term as a cook. He went to Vietnam in May of 1971 as a 2nd Lieutenant. After Vietnam, he was in the reserves for a time and then forgot all about the military until he was contacted by Don Alsbro about joining “Lest We Forget.” Don started “Lest We Forget” in 2006. Don passed away last year, and now Larry is the President.
Larry reviewed many of the things that “Lest We Forget” does, including monthly meetings at the airport, educational programs, veterans’ patriotic concerts, American Legion visitations, attending veterans’ funerals, and participating in several parades with veterans, among other activities. Larry said,” We want to remind people about the sacrifices our veterans made to secure our freedoms and blessings.” Their motto is, “We Brighten the Future by Illuminating the Past.”
