NEWS about founder Eddie Trester
Our own Eddie Trester will receive a Gold Medal Bar from the Congress Of The United States. This medal is to be given to surviving veterans of the U.S. Merchant Marines of World War II as a belated "thank you" for their service. The Merchant Marines did not receive the G.I. Bill and other benefits after the war. The Congressional Gold Medal Bar will be presented to Eddie by Congressmen Michael Waltz this Veterans Day 2020.
