State Representative Parke Wentling | Pennsylvania 7th Legislative District
Rep. Parke Wentling announced that Brigadier General John Pippy will be the guest of honor at his Veterans Recognition Breakfast. The event is scheduled for Friday, November 1, from 9 to 11 a.m. at the Hickory VFW in Hermitage.
Brig. Gen. Pippy was recently appointed as Pennsylvania’s acting adjutant general and head of the Pennsylvania Department of Military and Veterans Affairs (DMVA). This follows Maj. Gen. Mark Schindler's retirement after nearly four decades with the Pennsylvania National Guard.
“I’m truly honored Brig. Gen. Pippy agreed to take time out of his incredibly busy schedule to attend my Veterans Recognition Breakfast,” Wentling said. “Brig. Gen. Pippy exemplifies the reasons why Americans hold our servicemen and women with such high regard."
Previously, Pippy led strategic and joint staff issues for over 13,000 soldiers and 4,100 airmen of the Pennsylvania National Guard, managing programs for state contingency operations.
This will be Brig. Gen. Pippy’s second recent visit to the district; he also attended an event in August honoring World War II veterans William Alfonsi and Dominick Aluisia.
The breakfast will include representatives from veterans’ organizations and is open to all Mercer County veterans with one guest each. Registration is required by contacting Wentling’s offices.
