A wonderful honor for our fearless leader. Thanks for all you do, Jim! We are so fortunate to have you as our president - the accolades are well-deserved. 💜We’d like to take this opportunity to recognize our own Jim Dolan, LAFRA community affairs liaison II, and retired Los Angeles Fire Department Captain II for his recent recognition by Los Angeles County as a U.S. Marine Corps Purple Heart Recipient.
The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors approved LA County SupervisorJanice Hahn’s motion to proclaim August 7 Purple Heart Day in LA County for the first time in the county’s history.
The Purple Heart is one of the oldest and most distinguished military decorations in the United States.
Congratulations to a true hero! 💜
