an accident that nearly claimed his life in late December 2011.

was paralyzed in a freak accident when he was in high school, went
on to graduate with his class on time. Four years later, he earned a
degree from Rhode Island College followed with a second degree from
Harvard~Rs Kennedy School of Government. Langevin has proven to be
an inspiration to all that know him.
As secretary of state in Rhode Island, he was responsible for getting
the Armenian flag flown on April 24 in memory of our martyrs. It has
proudly flown atop the building every year for the past 16 years. His
other accomplishments helped to earn him the position of U.S.

state for the past 12 years.
Langevin and Garabedian, who was recently promoted to the position of
sergeant in the Rhode Island National Guard, spoke about a wide range
of topics from education to career opportunities, and on dealing with
adversity and moving on in life.
The Armenian community is grateful for Langevin~Rs visit with
Garabedian and his continued support in achieving genocide recognition.
