The Idaho Statesman awarded Gary with the Distinguished Citizen's award. He was also invited as the Honor Marshall for the Fourth of July Parade in Boise. Before my friend Chuck Fulkerson decided to retire from the Nevada Office of Veterans Services, he recruited Gary to come to Nevada. Gary took a position as the administrator of the Nevada State Veterans Home. This wasn't an easy task, and the new facility was facing many significant challenges.
