Maria C. Klemack-McGraw was honored for 16 years of dedicated service to the citizens of Grove City, Ohio, as a four-time elected member of City Council and as Council President from 2002 to 2004. In 1961, following the Bay of Pigs invasion, she fled post-revolutionary Cuba alone as a 13-year-old refugee and immigrant. She said, "I am so thankful for the sacrifice my parents made for sending me here. I hope to share their courage every day of my life." She was further honored for her personal sacrifice to become an American citizen and for her deep passion of service to the Grove City community.
