Newport, OR -- In May, Ron presented medals to the family of Bob Fisher, who earned them for his service in World War II. Bob Fisher served aboard the U.S.S. Arizona, and was killed in the attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941 when he was only eighteen years old.

In addition to presenting the medals — which include the Purple Heart, World War II Victory Medal, American Defense Service Medal, Honorable Service Lapel Pin, Discharge Button and the Gold Star Lapel Pin — Ron had helped the family obtain copies of Bob Fisher’s service records, which had been damaged by fire and water during the attack.
