Senior Richard Casagrande concluded the event with prayer.
ACS also honored great-great grandfather and veteran John Christman for receiving the Congressional Gold Medal on March 21, 2024, at a ceremony on Capitol Hill. He was met with a standing ovation in recognition of this remarkable achievement.
