Beacon Hospice in Auburn recently honored Robert Gibson for his service to the country. Gibson served as a Corpsman in the Navy during World War II. Even with no medical background, his job was to be a medic in the combat field. Jerry DeWitt, who is also a veteran, presented a certificate and American flag pin to Gibson. Gibson lives at Bolster Heights in New Auburn. From left are Beacon Hospice Nurse Diane Crowell, Gibson and DeWitt.
