The City of Bradford has hosted many celebrations during the years, including our finest veterans from Pennsylvania. The three medals above were given to those veterans who attended these conventions. The National Guard Association medal is from the estate of Pennsylvania Governor Edward Martin (1879-1967). In addition to being governor and a US Senator, Martin had a distinguished military career through four wars.
