Claypool resident Danny Boggs was named as the Kosciusko County Veteran of the Month during Tuesday’s Commissioners meeting.
The 71-year old Boggs was drafted into the Army during the Vietnam War at the age of 19. During that time, he was selected as a squad leader and was given command of a group of ten in Company D 2nd of 7th Battalion 1st Air Calvary.
For his service, Boggs received two Army commendation medals and three bronze stars. After returning from Vietnam, he worked for Zimmer Biomet for 39 years and retired in 2007.
