Mr. Willie Galvan, a resident of the City of Santa Maria and State Commander of the American GI Forum of California, is being honored, not only for his life-long dedication to veterans organizations, but also for his work in helping young people lead healthy and productive lives and for his support of community groups which lack a voice in the public decision making process.
