SIUSLAW NEWS | WEDNESDAY, APRIL 21, 2021 | 5A AWARD from page 1A which is given to those who particularly exemplify the best qualities of service and dedication to country. He was also selected as the Northwest Division winner, representing Oregon, Washington, Ida- ho, Wyoming, Montana and Alaska. Sapp is currently a success- ful local realtor and a princi- pal broker as well as founding member of TR Hunter Real Estate. His influence in the community and among his fellow veterans is understand- ably high and many point to Sapp as a prime example of how an individual can con- tinue to serve, even after leav- ing office. The years Sapp served in Vietnam, 1966-69, were tu- multuous at home in the U.S. and particularly deadly in Southeast Asia. Fortunate- ly, Sapp survived his injuries and has continued to serve his community in many ways since returning from the con- flict. Jacquie Beveridge, Regent for the local DAR chapter, co- ordinated the event for Sapp. During the award ceremo- ny, her comments were brief, but she spoke with great ap- preciation for what Sapp en- dured overseas and for what he has meant to Florence in the many years since his re- turn. “Tim became the catalyst for our local Veterans Day Parade and was the driving force for the creation of this Your guide to great locally owned restaurants.
