North Adams Remembers Pearl Harbor, Honors Local Veterans

Legion Senior Vice Cmdr. David Levesque emcees of event.
 
NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — American Legion Post 125 held a Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day ceremony to mark the events of Dec. 7, 1941, and honor veterans and Legionnaires who have made a difference in the community.
 
Before commencing the ceremony on Saturday, Dec. 7, state Rep. John Barrett III read a citation from the governor naming Legion member Dennis St. Pierre as the recipient of the American Patriot Award.
 
"Dennis has done so much for so long for so many veterans," Barrett said. "He made sure his friends were never forgotten and, more importantly, he never stopped giving … he was always there when someone needed him, and if he wasn't there he always made sure somebody would be there."
 
Wayne Soares, actor and veterans advocate, as well as a columnist for iBerkshires, presented St. Pierre with a bronze eagle statue and offered a few personal words.
 
"I have known him since I was 18 years old. With Bob Cellena [co-owner of the State Street Tavern with St. Pierre] he has been the biggest brother I never had," he said. "He has supported me through countless experiences … In a world filled with takers, he has always been a giver. He has been a force in my life."
 
St. Pierre, surprised, accepted the award.
 
"I don't have a whole lot to say because I am blindsided," he said. "Thank you all for being here."
