Commissioner's Spotlight
Our Spotlight honoree this month, John White, has selflessly stepped up and served our community and country and was recently recognized for his efforts in a big way.
​
John was honored as a National Commander of the Sons of the American Legion, a tribute to his unwavering support of the Jefferson Davis American Legion Post 18 in Centreville. Since joining the post in 2017, John has played a crucial role, organizing weekly dinners, welcoming veterans, and managing the Mid-Shore Toys for Tots program, which benefits approximately 150 children each year. His commitment extends to participating in community events such as the annual Wreaths Across America ceremonies, honoring veterans with dignity.
​
John is also a rider in the Honor Guard, motorcycle riders who provide ceremonial escorts at funerals for their brothers and sisters in arms when they are laid to rest. John is one of those quiet persons who ask for nothing in return for selfless service to our veterans, yet it is people like John White who devote their time, energy, and expertise that we can TRUST to be there when needed.
