"I am grateful for the support of the House of Representatives in honoring the late Colonel Alfred Asch for his contributions to our country and the Beaverton community. He realized his childhood dream of flying, and during World War II he bravely flew missions to liberate Europe, earning numerous decorations. As service to his country took him away from home, he never forgot where he was from. He created a scholarship for Gladwin County students at CMU, and wrote memoirs about his life in northern Michigan, the proceeds of which were donated to the Beaverton Activity Center. Colonel Asch is a hero and I am glad we're one step closer to honoring his life of service."
