Philadephia: WWII Hero Honored at Cherry Hill Jeep
Philadelphia: Local officials and military-connected organizations honored a World War II veteran on Friday, June 11 at a patriotic event hosted by Cherry Hill Dodge and the New Jersey Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve (ESGR) program.
Eighty-nine year-old honoree Edward Martino of Cherry Hill is a Purple Heart recipient who served in the 309th Combat Engineers in the Army's 84th Infantry Division. He was wounded by shrapnel in the bloody Battle of the Bulge amid snow, sleet and rain in March 1945.
"Our owner Charlie Faulke is a Korean War veteran and we have gone out of her way to support active and former military, so when the opportunity to honor a veteran came long, we jumped at the opportunity," said dealership manger Bryan Lasater, an Air Force veteran.
Donna Clementoni of Barrington, an ESGR advocate ad spokeswoman, said ESGR is a mainly volunteer Department of Defense organization seeking to create a business culture in which all American employers value and support the military service and sacrifice of their employees.
