Henry Wheeler was born in Australia and fought valiantly for his country’s infantry as a Sergeant during World War II, but by any measure, he is a true American hero — and a proud 60 Year Gold Card Member of the OPCMIA.

Robert J. Santo, an active OPCMIA International Representative, is just one in a long-line of family patriarchs that have dedicated their lives to the service of others. Like his father before him and son who followed, Robert’s early adult years were spent as a member of the United States Armed Forces, eventually moving on to establish himself as a career Union member.
