                "description": "Honoring Veterans of WWII since early childhood, later in life Eric P. Montgomery began assisting WWII Veterans with their efforts to apply for the French Legion d’honneur in 2014.    As an advocate for those he admired so much growing up, Eric assists those eligible for the award by completing and submitting their applications to the French Government for approval.  For those confirmed, when needed, he helps to arrange and coordinate their formal presentation ceremonies.   As a prelude to this effort, Montgomery has been actively involved since 2003 with Living History and events of commemoration across the United States and Europe engaging as a participant, organizer, guest speaker, and developer.
