The professor is currently doing research on U.S. Working with the VA, he has a long history of treating veteran’s mostly from the Vietnam era. The Chapter was also glad to welcome Professor Phil, Professor Emeritus of Psychology and Education, Teachers College, Columbia University. We presented her with a thank you and brunch sealing the bond of a future relationship with the Chapter. She made arrangements with our president while she was visiting the tri-state area to attend our monthly meeting. We were honored by the Chapter’s friend Bobbi who came clear across the country to visit Woody’s and the Chapter from hearing of our activities last Veteran’s Day 2017. He considers himself most fortunate to have become friends with many of his heroes, the US Army Special Forces, and in particular, the Green Berets of Vietnam. Chris was recently made an honorary member of Special Forces Association Chapter XIX, which he states is one of the highlights of his life. He has written several magazine articles and has designed and created Ewing Township’s memorial to Medal of Honor recipient SFC Fred Zabitosky, One-Zero of RT Maine, who earned his MOH in Laos in 1968. In addition to his family, Chris’ passion is American military history. Chris is happily married to his lovely wife of 25 years, Maeve Cannon, and has two wonderful daughters, Madeleine, 21, and Odette, 18. He is currently employed by Ewing Township as an EMT at Station 139. After his military service he earned an Associate in Applied Science degree from Mercer County College and has worn many hats, being at various times a carpenter, a cabinet maker, an x-ray technician and an Emergency Medical Technician. Chris was a forward air controller with TACRON ONE (Tactical Air Control Squadron One) and spent 4 years in WESTPAC working mainly with the 3rd Bn, 3rd Marines. Her big heart and obvious intelligence is an inspiration to others.Ĭhris Biache is a 1974 graduate of Ewing High School in Mercer County, NJ, after which he enlisted in the US Navy. This wonderful woman consistently displays her devotion to our Chapter, Veterans and her country.
We made sure her family was there to participate this occasion with us. So, at the December 2019 Holiday Party, Nicole was presented with Honorary Membership in the Chapter. Nicole has been presented with a Certificate of Appreciation in the past but we felt the need to go a step farther. When we discovered Nicole Crimeni found good employment elsewhere and was coming in just for Chapter 19 events, we had to recognize this loyalty. Always going the extra step for the group as well as individual members when needed. Nicole is always there before us with tables, chairs and flags ready for the meeting. She is a stand out individual who is a welcome sight to see upon entering. But, for a number of years a particular person has been singularly attentive and consistently displaying an attention to detail. Many thanks to the other Chapter volunteers who assisted.Ĭhapter XIX has always cherished the thoughtful staff at Woody’s Roadside Tavern. Karen & John Welgos did a superb job of coordination.
