Roman A. "Ray" Ciesinski on Sunday was presented the Military Order of the Purple Heart, the Bronze Star for meritorious or exemplary conduct in ground combat and the Prisoner of War Medal. (6/6/11) Camera: John J. Jankowski Jr. Editor: Ashley Barnas
It a shame we have to wait until we are one the eve of our life to be recognized for our services. Mr. Ciesinski, I salute you sir, in hanging in there to get what you so rightfullly deserve. A sad commentary to our country to have waited so long. You are not alone though. There are many thousands this country owes and has turned their back on. There is no excuse for a man who was a prisoner of war to have been ignored for any amount of time. Good luck to you sir and smooth sailing to you.
