     “During the Vietnam War, Mr. Bula served in the Air Force to defend our country overseas. The sacrifices he made during his years of service to our nation make him deserving of our gratitude and respect. I congratulate Mr. Bula on earning this honor and thank him for his brave and dedicated service,” said Senator Fuschillo.
