Dave Saxton (left), who has four sons serving in the United States Marine Corps, was recognized during the Hoover-Bickel Post 2689 Veterans of Foreign Wars community service appreciation program Saturday evening, Feb. 21. The honor was presented by Pauline Gearhart, president of the VFW Ladies’ Auxiliary, as (from left) Post Commander Leslie Ackermann and member Steve Garwood hold up pictures of Saxton’s four sons. A fifth son was unable to enlist for medical reasons, and a daughter is too young for the military.
