Heitkamp 2023 Post #23 Good Samaritan!

Date:

            Congratulations to our 2023 Good Samaritan Tad Heitkamp, who we recognize for his commitment not only to our community but to our area youth. The South Dakota American Legion "Good Samaritan of the Year" award program serves to recognize those individuals or groups who give of themselves to help others.

            With so much negative publicity, this award is designed not only to honor a good Samaritan but also to make the public aware of the many good deeds and acts of kindness that are going on around us all the time.  He is a well-deserving, good Samaritan! Congratulations Tad!
