Rand H. Wintermute, U.S. Coast Guard Ret., and a member of the French Foreign Legion.<\/p><p>The French Legion of Honor is an order of distinction first established by Napoleon Bonaparte in May 1802. It is the highest decoration bestowed in France and is divided into five categories: Chevalier (Knight), Officier (Officer), Commandeur (Commander), Grand Officier (Grand Officer) and Grand Croix (Grand Cross).\u00a0Foreign nationals who have served France or the ideals it upholds may receive a distinction from the Legion of Honor. American recipients include Generals Dwight D. Eisenhower and Douglas MacArthur, Admiral Michael Mullen, and even, as an institution, the United States Military Academy at West Point.<\/p><p>American veterans who risked their lives during World War II and who fought on French territory qualify to be decorated as Knights of the Legion of Honor. Veterans must have fought in one of the four main campaigns of the Liberation of France: Normandy, Provence, Ardennes, or Northern France. Loren landed on the second wave on Omaha Beach on D-Day (June 6, 1944). He was a machine gunner on an M3 half-track personnel carrier. He served with the 9th Corps in the U.S. First Army under Gen. Omar Bradley on D-Day before his reassignment to Gen. George Patton&#8217;s Third Army, which later became famous for its participation in the Battle of the Bulge \u2014 of which Loren is also a veteran. He fought in all five major battles of the war.<\/p><p>Loren recently turned 95 on January 15. His family and retirement community, The Rivers at Puyallup, are so proud of his recognition!<\/p><div>\u00a0<\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-a89ba8d elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"a89ba8d\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-31f81da\" data-id=\"31f81da\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-77e2563 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"77e2563\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pegasusseniorliving.com\/the-rivers-at-puyallup\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/49\/2020\/04\/The_Rivers_at_Puyallup_Resident_Loren_Kissick_with_Award.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium_large size-medium_large wp-image-2095\" alt=\"The Rivers at Puyallup | Resident Loren Kissick with award\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pegasusseniorliving.com\/the-rivers-at-puyallup\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/49\/2020\/04\/The_Rivers_at_Puyallup_Resident_Loren_Kissick_with_Award.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.pegasusseniorliving.com\/the-rivers-at-puyallup\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/49\/2020\/04\/The_Rivers_at_Puyallup_Resident_Loren_Kissick_with_Award-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Loren Kissick is receiving recognition for his remarkable service and sacrifices in France during WWII.&nbsp;On January 25, Loren received the French Medal of Honor by Cmdr.
