Throughout our Flags for Heroes campaign, we've had the privilege of learning about the incredible veterans who have served our country with courage and dedication. These stories, filled with sacrifice and resilience, serve as a powerful reminder of the true meaning of patriotism.
We’re honored to share the story of Brian L. Berntson, known for his selflessness and unwavering commitment to those around him.
Story submitted by David S. Smith “Though i only know Brian for 2.5 years, i know that he served in the US Army in Air Defense Artillery with the 7th Infantry Division Fort Ord California. Brian is the type of person that puts other’s needs before his own and is well loved by his family and friends for his sacrifices. He has been married for 35 years to his college sweetheart. In the recent 14 months a tragic injury occurred to Brian’s spouse Denise. Since that time, he has spent almost every waking moment taking care for and loving her by helping recuperate from near death, to full paralysis, to the miracle of aided walking. He never shows the stress, but i know your Flag and acknowledgement will do so much to assist and honor him for his life of service to others."
Thank you, Brian, for your honorable service, sacrifice, and dedication.
