The Horace Orr Post 29 of the American Legion in Marietta recently honored two veterans at its monthly meeting.

Cusick praised Loudermilk, an Air Force veteran, and his staff for helping resolve challenges veterans encountered navigating Department of Veterans Affairs. Loudermilk previously spoke at the 100th anniversary of Post 29 in 2019 and was a keynote speaker at the Veterans Memorial 5k and Military Appreciation event.
