Francisco Hurtado, Alaska Veterans Affairs Healthcare System, left, thanks U.S. Army Technician Third Grade Louis M. Gigliotti for his honorable service during a ceremony at the Alaska Veterans Museum in Anchorage, July 19, 2024. Gigliotti never applied for his veteran benefits after his honorable discharge but was ultimately recognized for securing them more than 78 years later with the Alaska Veterans Honor Medal.
