Marc Sizemore, Director of the Jim Ellis Collision Center in Atlanta, receives certificate for "Unwavering Loyalty and Support" from the US Department of the Army thanks to his patriotism shown to Iraq veteran, Doc Scheffler.
Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) July 23, 2009 -- In early July 2009, Silver-star veteran Doc Scheffler went to Jim Ellis Collision’s Marietta estimate and drop location for a new hubcap for his car. When Marc Sizemore, director of the Jim Ellis Collision Center, noticed the silver star medal on the front license plate. Mr. Sizemore asked Mr. Scheffler about his tour of duty in Iraq because the Silver Star - the third highest honor in the Army - is awarded "for gallantry in action".
While the two gentlemen spoke, Mr. Sizemore found Mr. Scheffler’s hubcap in stock, but refused to accept payment in honor of Mr. Scheffler’s service. Sizemore, who was in the Air Force, also mentioned that his oldest son, John, is now a senior at West Point.
A week later, on July 15, 2009, the Department of the Army presented Sizemore with a Certificate of Appreciation that reads: "The Department of the Army salutes you and is appreciative of your patriotism for demonstrating unwavering loyalty and support for our Army and its sister services throughout Georgia. Your pride and dedication for our soldiers and families as they serve our country reflects great credit on you, your community, our state and our Nation."
The award was presented by Duke Doubleday, Civilian aide to the Secretary of the Army for Georgia, and veteran Doc Scheffler.
