Dentist Recognized for Military Support

Hackettstown's Dr. Richard J. Cleave and his wife Barbara affirmed their support for the National Guard and Reserve, which represent 48-percent of our nation’s total Defense.

Their son, Rick, served overseas with the United States Marine Corp. and lost his hearing as a result of an IED explosion. Currently he is studying for a career in pharmacy in Hawaii.

Dr. Cleave of Independence Dental Associates in Hackettstown served his country with the 194th Army National Guard. 

Dr. Cleave was presented with a "Statement of Support” that is a symbolic certificate stating that Barbara and Dr. Richard Cleave recognize the Guard and Reserve are essential to the strength of our nation and the well-being of our communities.
