DUBOIS – Two local veterans are being honored for their service this Veterans Day.
The nonprofit Quits of Valor presented handmade quilts to recently retired Army Lieutenant General David Francis and WWII veteran Bill Lowe during a ceremony at the VFW Post 813.
Francis recently returned to the DuBois area after a 37 year long Army career, and says seeing the local support was inspiring.
“Coming back to your hometown after 40 years, and seeing the respect for veterans, how they take care of veterans, how they take care of the community. This VFW Post 813 is incredible, and they continue to serve, even though they’re not in uniform anymore,” explained Francis.
Francis served 37 years in the Army, including deployments to Afghanistan and Iraq. Lowe served in Europe during World War Two, helping build bridges, repair roads and support Allied troops.
