While Memorial Day in America is a time for solemn commemoration, Veterans Day is an occasion to celebrate. So Dan Foglio, the past commander for the American Legion Dexter Allen Post 90 will celebrate. The American Legion’s Statesboro post will continue its tradition, more than a decade old, of honoring veterans and their families Monday, with a 2012 Veterans Day Community Observance Program.
