At 18, Bob made a decision that shaped his life. He enlisted in the U.S. Coast Guard and served from 1971 to 1975, including time in Alaska during the Vietnam era. He shares that the military was the first experience that truly made him proud and helped “straighten me out,” instilling values that still guide him today.
After returning home, Bob focused on family. One of his favorite memories is a road trip to Cape May to mark the start of basic training, complete with stuffed hot dogs along the way.
Through our Salute to Service Program, we recently honored Bob with a pinning ceremony recognizing his service and the pride he carries forward every day. 🎖️
Thank you, Bob, for your service. ❤️
