Veterans Day for families of soldiers, too
Foglio honored by DAR
W 111115 VETERANS DAY 02
U.S. Air Force Technical Sgt. Skip Campbell (ret.) and other military veterans rise and recite the Oath of a Soldier during Wednesday's community Veterans Day observance at Averitt Center for the Arts.
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.
