Local Gold Star recipient

Adam Zanutto was a Marine who gave all for his country. On October 7, Major Jason E. George VFW was honored to present a Gold Star to his father, Rick Zanutto, for the loss of his son Adam in Iraq.

Ben Rodrigues, an Army Iraq veteran and a member of the Major Jason E. George VFW, made the presentation to his father, who is an Army Vietnam veteran.

Adam Zanutto will never be forgotten. His portrait appears on the "Portrait of a Warrior" Gallery located at 1925 Eye Street in Bakersfield.
