Families of veterans should also be recognized on Veterans Day, since they, too, make sacrifices, said Lonnie Ellis, post commander of the American Legion Dexter Allen Post 90, as he addressed a crowd attending a Veterans Day program Wednesday at Statesboro’s Emma Kelly Theater. Ellis’ keynote speech was the highlight of the program, but in a surprise move, Dan Foglio, senior vice commander of the American Legion Dexter Allen Post 90, received a first-time honor from the Archibald Bulloch Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution. Regent Martha Wells presented Foglio, who organizes the annual Memorial Day and Veterans Day celebrations, with the DAR Americanism Medal.
