Governor Presents State of Maine Silver Star Honorable Service Medals to Veterans
January 29, 2008
Governor's Office

AUGUSTA - Governor John E. Baldacci today presented State of Maine Silver Star Honorable Service Medals to fifteen veterans in a Hall of Flags ceremony. The medal was first awarded to Maine veterans in August of 2006, and is presented to those who have been wounded while serving their country.

 
"You've given us a wonderful example. You've given us a role model and a standard to adhere to, to rise to, and to try to strive for, and I thank you for that," Governor Baldacci said. "It's an inspiration to the troops who are now serving to live up to, and try to exceed the standards that our greatest generation has laid for us."
The Governor was joined by Maine Adjutant General John W. Libby and Director of Veterans Services Peter Ogden in awarding the service medals to the veterans.
"We - the General, myself, your friends and family - are all here to thank you for what you have given for your country," the Governor said.
"You know all too well the meaning of sacrifice and service."
Since then, a total of 36 Gold Star Medals and 123 Silver Star Medals have been presented to Maine veterans.
Below is the list of veterans recognized today, and the town in which they reside.

World War II - Raymond J. Cyr, Lewiston - Ernest A. Henderson, Winthrop - Romeo A. Huppe, Lewiston - Bertrand E. LaFrance, Lewiston - Leroy W. Linnell, South Paris - Louis P. Pare, Brewer - Rosaire Poulin, Augusta - Raymond E. Reitze, Buxton - Joseph R. Woodward, York

Story: Top left World War II Veteran Raymond E. Reitze is aided to the front to be greeted by Governor John Elias Baldacci and Maine Adjutant General John W. Libby. To the right: Representative Donald G. Marean, Republican-District 131 Buxton/Hollis, Me.

Marean spoke with Reitze who was captured with 90,000 to 100,000 Americans and Philippine soldiers at the Bataan Peninsula at the Battle of Bataan. As a prisoner of war in 1942 he was in the "Bataan Death March". He was forced to march for 60 miles to a prison camp which was characterized by wide ranging physical abuse, murder, savagery, and resulted in very high fatalities inflicted on prisoners and civilians along the route by the armed forces of the Empire of Japan. Beheadings, cut throats and being casually shot were the more common merciful actions compared to bayonet stabbings, rapes, guttings, numerous rifle butt beatings and a deliberate refusal to allow the prisoners food or water while keeping them continually marching for nearly a week. Prisoners were attacked for assisting someone failing due to weakness or for no apparent reason whatsoever. Strings of Japanese trucks were known to drive over anyone who fell. Riders in vehicles would casually stick out a rifle bayonet and cut a string of throats in the lines of men marching along side the road. The minimum death toll was between six and eleven thousand men.

Maine honors local veteran
By Ramona du Houx Wednesday, February 20, 2008

Maine - Many documentaries and movies have depicted World War II's Battle of the Bulge, but none of them comes close to the reality.

Bertrand Lafrance of Lewiston knows - he was there. Sent in to back up the first engaged units, he became a point man in his unit, responsible for checking out the enemy's position and reporting back to his commander. Out front and on his own encountering the enemy is one of a host of war memories that Lafrance has learned to live with. The most traumatic was being machine-gunned down.
The Battle of the Bulge was the bloodiest of the battles that U.S. forces experienced in World War II and resulted in the deaths of 19,000 Americans. At the time the battle incorporated more U.S. troops and engaged more enemy troops than any other U.S. conflict in history.

Lafrance fought from La Have, France, to Belgium, through Luxembourg and on to Germany, where he was wounded.
"I was lucky. I was one of the few that received penicillin. My legs were getting gangrene," said Lafrance. "After two months they patched me up, and I went back on the front line in Germany and then on to Czechoslovakia."
With the war in Europe over, Lafrance was shipped home. "When I got home, I received new orders to be on the first wave to invade Japan. The bomb got there first."
At war he learned how to sleep with snow as a bed and boots as a pillow. He learned to accept death on a daily basis.
"You don't leave it behind. It's an ordeal you don't forget and often times you relive.

Last night I got to bed at three and was awake at six. So today I've got someone to drive me home," said Lafrance. "Two years ago, I wouldn't have been willing to tell you my story.

Now I want the next generation to know. There are about 16,000 of us World War II veterans that die everyday. The history is going away. If we don't tell it now, it will never be known. There aren't many of us around anymore."
Before his 13 weeks of army training, he was a crane operator at Bath Iron Works.
"When you're called to duty, you serve. After boot camp, we went right into battle.

I'm proud of what we achieved. I'm a young 81 because of it," he smiled.
Lafrance helps veterans receive medical treatment and medals that are due to them.

He brought a national veterans convention to Maine in 2002.

As a Purple Heart recipient, he is equally proud of his new Maine Silver Star medal.
"I spent years getting medals for veterans with the then Congressman John Baldacci's help and Senator Susan Collins. It's gratifying that the state now has its own medal," said Lafrance.
The Silver Star medal was first awarded to Maine veterans in August 2006 and is presented to those who were wounded while serving their country. Since its inception, 123 medals have been presented.

At the ceremony in the Maine State House Hall of Flags, 15 veterans received Maine's Silver Star. Besides Lafrance, two other WWII veterans from Lewiston were honored.

They are Raymond J. Cyr and Romeo A. Huppe.
Silver Star medal presentations are held at the State House periodically.
"You've given us a wonderful example. You've given us a role model and a standard to adhere to, to rise to, and to try to strive for, and I thank you for that," said Governor John E. Baldacci at the medal presentation, where Lafrance received his Silver Star medal.

"It's an inspiration to the troops who are now serving to live up to, and trying to exceed, the standards that our greatest generation has laid for us."
The governor, Maine Adjutant General John W. Libby and Veterans Services Director Peter Ogden awarded the service medals to the veterans.
"We - the general, myself, your friends and family - are all here to thank you for what you have given for your country," said Baldacci. "You know all too well the meaning of sacrifice and service."
For many veterans like Lafrance that sacrifice continues.
The state also has presented 36 Gold Star Honorable Service medals to family members of those killed while serving their country overseas.
