VCC would like to honor our Veteran of the Month, Richard Duckett. Richard served 3 years in the Army during the Korean Conflict.
Richard trained for welding and as he was overseas in Korea his job was to look out and walk the beached to report anything suspicious. He worked for the PX and worked with the Red Cross, building and setting up to serve for the military.
Richard & Frances Duckett lived in Fredericksburg, Pennsylvania and were married for 60+ years until she passed. They had 5 kids and 4 grandkids.
Richards hobbies include, hunting and fishing and his favorite things are playing cards and cooking.
Richard, thank you for your service!
