Star Spangled Salute Honors “Bennie The Bagger”

Today’s Star Spangled Salute honors World War II veteran Bartholomeo “Bennie” Ficeto.  Bennie has worked hard all his life ever since he enlisted in the Air Force at the age of 19.  During WWII he flew missions over North Africa and Italy in a B-25 Mitchell.  Yesterday, Bennie was surprised with a 98th birthday party at his job.  For the last 10 years, Bennie has worked as a bagger at his local grocery store and shows no signs of slowing down.  In fact he’s always looking to pick up an extra shift or two.  Happy Birthday Bennie and thank you for your service.
