Congratulations to Master Sergeant (Retired) Gerald D. Hansen, the winner of The MilitaryVALoan.com Miltary Hero Award!

He retired in May 1990.
His awards and decorations include the Meritorious Service Medal with two oak leaf clusters and the Air Force Commendation Medal. He was promoted to Master Sergeant through STEPS (Stripes for Exceptional Performers) in August of 1983. He was also named as the Tampa Military Citizen of the Year for 1986.

Hansen is the volunteer Executive Director for Paint Your Heart Out Tampa (PYHOT), an all-volunteer, nonprofit organization that benefits low-income and elderly citizens of Tampa by improving the exterior of their homes.

Hansen has also successfully raised more than $14,000 for the Greater Tampa Bay Walk to Defeat ALS, was involved in three annual cleanups of Bayshore Boulevard on MacDill AFB, served as the Chairperson of the Preschool Education Board, and helped build playgrounds on MacDill AFB and in Clearwater.
“Jerry is the most unselfish person I have ever met,” his nominator wrote. “He has taught me more about generosity than anyone. The majority of Jerry’s time is spent behind the wheel of his car, picking up, dropping off supplies or materials needed from one organization to another. He is often delivering items to groups working with homeless or food banks.”
