MEDALS OF HONOR

Once a month, Wayne Rioux of Hartford Healthcare visits with the veterans at Harrington Court Genesis Healthcare over coffee to discuss current and historical events surrounding the military. During his last visit on Jan. 13, he presented Roger Bergeron, one of Harrington Court’s resident veterans, with two medals of honor: The CT Veterans Wartime Service Medal for serving during a conflict period of wartime and the Korea Ambassador of Peace Medal by the government of South Korea for his combat service during the Korean War. Bergeron was surprised and pleased to receive these honors and cherishes them with pride.
