PUNXSUTAWNEY â The Mahoning Valley VFW Post 2076 held a flagpole dedication ceremony on Sunday in honor of Thomas R. Johnston, a Navy veteran and member of the post.
The dedication ceremony was held on what would have been Johnstonâs 75th birthday, Dec. 13. Post Commander Bob Lott gave a speech at the ceremony honoring Johnston, and thanking those who made the project possible.
Johnston died about two years ago, and in his obituary, his wife Helen included that memorial donations be made to the VFW post.
âWe know that for many the grieving will never go away. But, for today, let any tears that may be shed be tears of joy as we remember this great man and friend and member of the Veterans of Foreign Wars,â Lott said.
