Star Spangled Salute: A Veteran Lost His Hat But Not Hope

Today’s Star Spangled Salute honors Vietnam veteran Robert Rife.  Robert was a crew chief on a Chinook helicopter in the Vietnam War with the 1st Calvary Division of the U.S. Army.  He is also battling Parkinson’s.   Several months ago, Robert had lost something very valuable to him, his Vietnam Veteran ball cap, which held several pins including a Native American Tribal pin, a Wounded Warrior button and a ribbon bar.   Then one night, he and his wife were watching tv and a story come on about a Great Clips in his town that had found a cap and was looking for it’s owner.  Robert looked closer at the tv and realized it was hit hat, which he has now been reunited with.  Thank you Robert for your service.
