HAIR4HEROES
DR. SAITO’S HAIR4HEROES IS HERE FOR HEROES
Dr. Saito’s is giving back to veterans with his humanitarian project called HAIR4HEROES where he is providing free hair restoration to a worthy veteran. The origins of HAIR4HEROES started 35 years ago with the American Legion School Award Medal that Dr. Saito received upon his 8th grade graduation from Beverly Hills Middle School in Pennsylvania.
Historically, the American Legion was chartered and incorporated by Congress in 1919 as a patriotic veteran’s organization. In 1921, the Department of Pennsylvania created the School Award Medal Program for the purpose of instilling character and helping perpetuate the ideals of Americanism among youth. The award was given to one boy and one girl in the graduating class who exemplified six qualities that define character: Courage, honor, leadership, patriotism, scholarship, and service.
As the male awardee of the Beverly Hills Middle School American Legion School Award Medal, Dr. Saito had the incredible honor of having his name inscribed on the American Legion school plaque. In addition, he was given a certificate along with a medal and medallion with the six qualities listed on the face of the medal, as the back bears the Marine Corps motto, “Semper Fidelis” (“always faithful”).
This prestigious recognition left an indelible impression upon Dr. Saito and subsequently shaped his character and allegiance to Americanism and alignment to the betterment of veteran heroes throughout his life leading him to his current humanitarian project: HAIR4HEROES.
