“Let it be known that the flag accompanying this certificate was flown proudly over Guantanamo Bay, Cube on July 4th, 2019 at 0759 hours for 9 minutes and 11 seconds. This flag is presented to you in the spirit of patriotism, as a tribute to those who lost their lives in terrorist attacks on the United States of America, and to those who continue to fight in the Global War on Terror.”
Dr. Nicholas Damato had the incredible honor of being recognized by SSG Richard DiFronzo of the Joint Detention Group stationed in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba as part of ‘Operation Enduring Freedom’.
“Today, I personally flew this flag over Guantanamo Bay for you. I raised this flag at 7:59 AM and flew during the playing of the National Anthem at 8:00 AM. This flag continued to fly for a total of 9 minutes and 11 seconds in remembrance of September 11th, 2001. Thank you again for everything that you do for us and all of your patients. You always ensure that anybody that walks through your door feels like a party of the family.” – Richard DiFronzo, SSG, MP
