On Aug. 1, John J. Morris Post 62 (Peoria, Ariz.) honored Army veteran and two-time MIA Benjamin Conn as August veteran of the month. He was part of the Chosin Frozen and Task Force Faith. His unit was awarded the Presidential Unit Citation. Ben was also awarded a Silver Star, Bronze Star and Purple Heart. He lived the rest of his life with shrapnel next to his heart. He went to Post Everlasting in 2010. The event featured a Riders ride-up to kick it off, full honor guard presentation, opening and closing prayer by the chaplain and Ben's story by the commander. Honoring our veteran of the month is always a special day. Several of Ben's relatives were in attendance.
