Army Veteran’s DC Journey

At 70-years young, Army Veteran Tim App will travel this October to participate in the 41st running of the Army’s 10-mile Road Race being held in our nation’s Capital on October 12th.  This will be his first time running in the DC event. 

The 10-mile race is conducted by the Army’s Military District of Washington (MDW) whose operations seek to deter, prevent, and respond to threats aimed at DC’s Capital region. The Race’s proceeds will benefit the Army’s Family and Morale, Welfare and Recreation (MWR) unit which provides resources and programs to the Army’s population including families of those now serving our country. 

Since its inception in 1985, the event has hosted 488,191 runners from around the world. This year’s event anticipates 35,000 runners and 900 Teams comprised of military, civilian, wheelchair, and wounded warrior athletes. Tim chose to run in this year’s race in honor of the Army’s 250th birthday and for the successes he has achieved from his service to our nation. Tim commented “I am running the Army 10-miler as a celebration of all that I have accomplished, and that all started with my decision to join the Army, although an active conflict, the Vietnam Conflict, was raging.” He had voluntarily enlisted in the Army immediately following High School.

Tim App

After his service to our country, he moved to Massachusetts where he held various leadership roles within the Department of Corrections - for 27 years!  Following his retirement in 2003, he became an adjunct Professor at both Northeastern University and Stonehill College where he taught Corrections Practices, Sex Offender Programming and Ethics for 22 years. 

Tim took a hiatus from running after his military duty. He resumed his running career after his Niece’s toddler was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer. His Niece started a 5K race to support her daughter and other children suffering from this rare form of cancer and asked him to run in the event.  Sadly, his Grand Niece passed away at age 3 and Tim carries a picture of her with him on his armband for each and every training run and racing event.  

An active member of Franklin’s American Legion Post 75, Tim serves as their Sargeant-at-Arms and remarked that “The Post does a tremendous amount of community work and I felt it fitting to run the ATM for the first time, on behalf of the Post.” He also supports the Franklin community through his work with the St. Vincent DePaul charity at St. Mary’s. In addition, he works with Meals on Wheels delivering food to Franklin residents in need.

Tom App ran last year’s Daytona 5K Race where he placed 3rd in his division

The armband of his Grand Niece is visible on his right arm.

WWII Veteran’s Special Observance Of Flag Day

The American Flag will mark its 248th birthday this June 14th.  WWII Veteran, Caster “Cas” Salemi of North Attleboro will mark this date for the 103rd time! Born in 1922, Cas fought for our freedoms, serving in the Army’s 251st Field Artillery Battalion in the South Pacific during WWII.   

Cas Salemi - 1943

This past January marked the 80th anniversary of the South Pacific battles during WWII.  Cas knows this all too well as he served in two of its major campaigns, New Guinea and the Philippines.  After training in Paris, Texas for a year, Cas set off on a 30-day ocean voyage to New Guinea.  They had no fresh water on this journey and had to wait for rain to shower.  As they neared the coast they witnessed lush green fields of grass. To their horror it wasn’t luxurious grasslands, but “kunai” grass. They had to use their bayonets to cut through the tough, fibrous blades of thick grass just to make camp, a long, tiring journey indeed for this 21-year-old.  

At camp he remembers being handed a can of British Bully Beef (C-Rations) that were from WWI made 28 years prior.  Cas joked, “When we opened the rations the Palm Trees wilted!” Having run the enemy off to the West Coast of New Guinea, his unit prepared for their next campaign in the Philippines.

Cas and the 251st were among the first soldiers to land in Luzon.  As they offloaded the vehicles from their boat, the truck containing all of Cas’ communications equipment slipped into a sink hole.  With his truck and supplies gone, Cas had to sit on the beach for 3 days waiting for their replacement.

Nicknamed “The Pearl of the Orient, Manila was a vibrant city rich in natural beauty, culture, and architecture with an abundance of valuable pearl beds. In 1941 General MacArthur had mandated that Manila be declared an “open city” in hopes of preventing its destruction. This capital city was all but leveled by the enemy in direct retaliation of General MacArthur’s orders. Cas and his unit provided critical defense in this most destructive campaign. Over 100,000 Filipino civilians were killed by the enemy.  Cas and his unit bravely fought the enemy for 165 days without rest. 

Radio frequencies in the thick and hilly jungle terrain of the Philippines would not work and had to be dangerously hardwired. T-4 (Technical Sergeant) Caster’s job was to lay this vital communications wire between the 251st firing batteries and its command base. 

Cas recalls one dangerous mission where his unit had been pinned down in a valley between two mountains under heavy artillery action.  The enemy would roll out cannons from a cave and fire upon the Americans. With no way out, the men completely disassembled an M90 Howitzer cannon and dragged it across to the other mountain where they could see the enemy’s cave. When the enemy once again rolled out their deadly cannons, the soldiers of the 251st were ready and successfully bought an end to the enemy’s carnage in this Valley.

In another routine mission, the men had positioned their allotted 4 cannons and created a perimeter around them. Soon after, they heard and felt the ground rumbling. The enemy had stampeded a whole herd of carabao (water buffalo) directly in their path! The men ran for cover under the guns, anywhere, just to get away from the animals to avoid death by trampling.

In 1945 Japan ended its aggressions after nuclear bombs were dropped on its cities, Hiroshima and Nagasaki on August 6 and 9th respectively with Japan surrendering on August 14th.  While many countries celebrate this date as their VJ Day (Victory over Japan), America recognizes the war’s end with the date of its formal surrender ceremony that took place aboard the USS Missouri in Tokyo Bay on September 2, 1945. 

T-4 Caster was devastatingly handicapped by “jungle rot” a condition caused by prolonged exposure to moisture with the inability to keep skin dry leading to a fungal infection. Cas got it bad in his hands and feet and could barely walk.  He was medically evacuated traveling back to the states on a ship not meant for ocean travel! They set sail in the aftermath of Typhoon Queenie with sustained winds of 90 mph and rough seas with 50 to 60-foot swells.  It wasn’t an easy 17-day trip home and to this day Cas will not travel across ocean waves.  

While recovering from his severe injuries in California, he and other GIs in his ward heard a strange noise reminiscent of an incoming artillery fire. At the sound of that loud noise, they all immediately jumped off their beds and dove underneath them believing they were once again under attack.  But the noise was something they had not heard before, a Jet Engine plane flying overhead!  The war in the Philippines had been a ground battle and jet planes were not used. 

When asked about soldiers’ fellowship, Cas explained, “Learning how to live with others from all different walks of life creates that special bond or camaraderie that soldiers share. We learned to depend on each other which proved to be a critical component in warfare.” He went on, “The difference between WWII and the Vietnam conflict was a matter of trust.  While there was brutality with the Japanese, the soldiers knew where and who they were fighting. The Vietnam Conflict was rifled with distrust and high anxiety.”  The enemy dug tunnels throughout the Vietnam landscape making it nearly impossible for a soldier to know who, when or where the enemy attacks were emanating from.”

After his meritorious actions contributing to the protection of our freedoms, Cas was most honorably discharged in 1946.  For his service he was awarded the Good Conduct, WWII Victory, Asiatic Pacific Campaign (with two stars for the New Guinea and Luzon campaigns) along with an Artillery Pin and the Philippine Liberation medals.  Not long after his discharge he married the love of his life, Virginia, in 1949.  While Cas was born on Flag Day, his wife was born on Veteran’s Day. They enjoyed 37 years together, raising two sons and a daughter. 

Born and raised in New York, Cas came to Massachusetts when the company he was working for, Sylvania Electric Products moved to Waltham in 1972.  He enthusiastically worked in Research and Development for 39 years through its mergers with GTE which ultimately became Verizon.

A 35-year resident of North Attleboro, he remains active in several military organizations and is a former member of the town’s Veterans Advisory Board.  He is a Past Commander of the North Attleboro DAV (Disabled American Veterans) Post 56. In April of 2004 he organized and escorted fellow veterans to the grand opening of the WWII Museum in Washington, DC. He has also traversed the Honor Flight, a non-profit organization for Veterans to visit memorials built in their honor. He attributes his longevity to three things. First by loving what you do. Secondly don’t smoke or drink hard liquor. But a glass of wine with your buddies is OK.  And lastly, ultimately it is in your genes!”

Nearly 131 WWII veterans die each day and of the 16 million men and women who served during WWII, a little over 100,000 are alive with most in their 90’s.  This “greatest generation” are a rapidly dwindling sector of Americans that we should honor most reverently.

State Rep Jeff Roy Honors Richard "Dick" Hynes at Inaugural Statewide Military Appreciation Day

State Representative Jeffrey N. Roy (D-Franklin) proudly honored Richard "Dick" Hynes of Franklin today at the first-ever Military Appreciation Day ceremony held in the Massachusetts State House's historic House Chamber.

Military Appreciation Day was created by the Healey-Driscoll Administration to establish a lasting annual tradition that brings together local, state, and community leaders to honor those whose service might otherwise go unrecognized. Each legislator was invited to nominate a member of their local military community-whether a veteran, active-duty service member, National Guard, Reservist, or military spouse-to be honored during the ceremony. More than 125 individuals who exemplify commitment to service and community were recognized from districts across Massachusetts.

"I'm proud to recognize Richard "Dick" Hynes for his military service and community leadership," said Representative Jeffrey N. Roy (D-Franklin). "His contributions reflect the strength, resilience, and dedication of our local military community, and I'm honored to celebrate him at this statewide event. We appreciate his service and efforts to keep the memories of our 45 fallen soldiers alive with moving ceremonies at the Veterans Memorial on the Franklin Town Common."

(L-R) Dick Hynes, St Rep Jeff Roy

Hynes served in the Navy as a Medic during the Vietnam War from August 1962 to April 1967. Dick attained the rank of HM2 which is the Hospital Corpsman Second Class and is the largest occupational rating in the Navy. Dick proudly received the National Defense Medal along with the Good Conduct Medal. While serving, he met Judy, his Navy nurse wife of 43 years.

For the past several years, Hynes has led efforts to honor the 45 Franklin veterans who lost their lives in service to our country. The Town of Franklin has one of the most beautiful Veteran's Memorial areas in the state, including 45 granite posts which line the Veterans' Walkway. Each one of these posts is dedicated to a Franklin veteran who gave his life, defending our freedom.

Under Dick's leadership, along with Franklin's Veterans' organizations, the Edward L. Grant American Legion Post 75, and the Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 3402, a program has been developed honor and remember those who died for our nation. This program includes the placing of a Memorial Wreath for the day, the playing of Taps, a salute from those present, and a reading of whatever history we may have on that veteran.

The State House ceremony featured remarks from Governor Maura Healey, Lieutenant Governor Kim Driscoll, Veterans Services Secretary Jon Santiago, Senate President Karen Spilka, and a keynote address by General Joseph F. Dunford, Jr. (Ret.), former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and 36th Commandant of the U.S. Marine Corps.

"This event is about gratitude," said Governor Maura Healey. "We're here to honor the everyday heroes-veterans, active-duty service members, and military families-whose courage, strength, and commitment continue to shape our state for the better. Military Appreciation Day is now a Massachusetts tradition and one we'll proudly carry forward each year."

"Massachusetts is home to one of the most vibrant, committed military communities in the country," said Lieutenant Governor Kim Driscoll. "This day is about uplifting the stories and contributions of those who have sacrificed so much and showing that their service will never go unrecognized."

"Every day, I meet veterans and military families who continue to lead, serve, and inspire," said Secretary Jon Santiago. "As we approach Memorial Day, and during a month dedicated to honoring our military, this event reflects what makes Massachusetts special: a deep respect for service, and a commitment to those who wear the uniform-and those who stand beside them."

"My father's service in the United States Army defined his life and deeply shaped my own - and I know the same holds true for thousands of service members and their families across Massachusetts," said Senate President Karen E. Spilka (D-Ashland). "It is a privilege to honor those residents who have dedicated themselves to serving our country, and I am profoundly grateful for their unwavering commitment and sacrifice."

"It is an honor to host the inaugural Military Appreciation Day in the historic House Chamber," said Speaker of the House Ronald Mariano. "This new tradition reflects our deep appreciation for the veterans, service members, and military families who strengthen every corner of our Commonwealth."

The keynote address was delivered by General Joseph F. Dunford, Jr. (Ret.), former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and 36th Commandant of the U.S. Marine Corps. A Boston native and one of the most distinguished military leaders in recent history, General Dunford spoke about the legacy of service, leadership, and community and the importance of honoring those who serve across generations.

"It's an honor to return home to Massachusetts and stand alongside a community so deeply committed to those who serve. Military Appreciation Day reflects something I've long believed: that service is not just what we do in uniform-it's a lifetime of leadership, character, and sacrifice," said General Joseph F. Dunford, Jr. (Ret.), 19th Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. I'm proud to join the Commonwealth in recognizing these remarkable individuals and the values they represent."

The program also featured a powerful performance of the National Anthem by Springfield native and NBC's The Voice finalist Michelle Brooks-Thompson. Following the ceremony, honorees and guests were invited to a lunch reception generously donated by the Military Friends Foundation, a Massachusetts nonprofit dedicated to providing support and emergency assistance to military families and families of the fallen.
