Santa Clarita Korean War veterans were honored by President Donald Trump last month.  The Greatest Generations Foundation (TGGF) Last month I was contacted by The Greatest Generations Foundation’s CEO and Founder Timothy Davis who asked if I could nominate a few local Korean War combat Veterans since he was involved in an event hosted by President Donald J.

I tried for approximately four years to convince my good friend Dennis Nobile to allow me to tell his Veteran story but alas, he has demonstrated a great deal of humility coupled with extraordinary stubbornness which has simply stalled the process.

Mike Garcia Connection At a recent Valencia Country Club campaign event for Mike Garcia, I met Jonathan and quickly learned that he served with the U.S. Navy, so naturally I invited him to join me for coffee. During our enlightening conversation, I realized that Jonathan is even more patriotic that I had initially presumed. Jonathan faced a number of difficulties ...
