The Apalachicola City Commission took a few moments from their regular scheduled meeting held on January 5 to recognize two members of the community for providing outstanding service to the citizenry of Apalachicola.

Both standouts reside in Apalachicola, Kenneth Wilson at 195 Ave L and unrelated Charles Wilson at 409 Brownville Road. Kenneth was selected employee of the month and Charles received recognition for his work with local veterans.

Kenneth employed in the city’s Public Works Department under the supervision of Wilbur Bellew was selected employee of the month for December 2009. Bellew cited Kenneth for dedication and going beyond the call of duty in carrying out his assignments for the residents of Apalachicola.

Charles one of the founders of the Franklin County Vietnam Veterans organization and the driving force behind the All-Veterans cookout held annually at Battery Park for Franklin County Veterans and their families. Drafted at the age of 18 and sent to Vietnam in 1967, Charles served as a demolition expert with the Cu Chi 25th Infantry Division until 1968.
