“ The guest speaker, Cuban-born retired Cmdr. Carlos Del Toro, honored the two in his speech.
“It is often the case that the first to achieve success is often the one who receives the recognition. Today we honor two different but equally important individuals. The last of a breed – a duo of hard-working Cuban commuters venturing day-in and dayout, across no-man’s land and through fenced borders to go to work every day,” Del Toro said. “To Mr. Henry and Mr. LaRosa, your distinguished career is cherished by those of us who have come to know you as peers and friends. ”

“ Henry began working on the base at the age of 17 and throughout his long and distinguished career held numerous positions to include duplication equipment operator, property supply clerk and stock control clerk before being assigned to his final position as a supply technician. ”
