For John Bokor of Independence Township, helping out his neighbor Jimmy Allen and his family was just the right thing to do.
For Allen, serving in Iraq, such behavior deserved a medal. The U.S. Air Force agreed, presenting Bokor with a Hometown Heroes Salute award.
‘He puts his life on the line for my family ? the least I can do to help is shovel the snow,? Bokor said. ‘It’s who I am, I don’t know any other way.?
Allen also presented Bokor with an American flag flown in Iraq, which Bokor displays with pride in his Independence Pool and Spa store on Sashabaw Road.
