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
