Stone’s Hearing Aid Service Celebrates 2012 Memorial
Day Honoring Veteran Stone’s Hearing Aids Service Partners: Mark
Shanta B.B.A., BC-HIS and Matthew Dailey HIS chose to celebrate this year’s
Memorial Day by assisting WWII Veteran, John Gill. Serving the local community with first hand one
on one service these gentlemen provide personalized care to individuals and
nursing homes on a routine basis. One of these homes called Stone’s to inform
them that Gill was in need of a new hearing aid due to one being lost or
broken. After visiting with Gill, two hearing aids were created in the case of
both being needed. During this process, Gill was then transferred to a local Veterans
Center. On Friday May 25, 2012 Shanta and Dailey went to
the center to deliver Gill’s hearing aid. Unsure if both devices would be
funded at the time of need, the partners chose to donate the second hearing aid
in honor of Memorial Day so that he would have quality hearing before the
beginning of the holiday weekend. Gill served in the U.S. Army Air Corp in Europe
during WWII as a navigator on a B17 Bomber and shared with the partners his
stories of twenty-five missions over Europe, during his tour. These stories
moved the partners as they both strongly believe with assisting military
veterans and their hearing needs. As Dailey is a U.S. Marine Corps
veteran of ten years. Shanta’s uncle, Bill Stone (the third generation owner of
Stone’s Hearing Aids) served in the U.S. Army during WWII in the South Pacific,
being severely burned and wounded during the battle of the Philippines,
and Shanta’s father, former Pottstown Police Chief, Mike Shanta, served
in the U.S. Army during WWII fighting from Africa, D-day, through Europe.
