through his steadfast dedication to his country, his community, and his
fellow veterans, earning the admiration and respect of all who have had
the privilege to know him; and

 WHEREAS, Born in Mineola, New York, and raised in Bethel,
Connecticut, Walter Constantini answered the call to serve his Nation by
joining the United States Air Force in June of 1961; and

squadron of General Claire Chennault's famed Flying Tigers while
stationed at Dow Air Force Base, adding to a legacy of military
excellence and dedication; and
