On this Veteran's Day Weekend FOES would like to recognize two of our staff members who served our country, Ms. Prince and Mrs. Glover. Ms. Prince served in the United States Air Force for four years. She completed her basic training in Lackland, Texas. Ms. Prince worked on several Air Force bases supporting crews and officers in charge of defense systems. She worked above ground, underground, and aboard in-flight kitchens. Ms. Prince was honorably discharged after the birth of her son. Mrs. Glover enlisted in 2014 and was honorably discharged in 2022. Mrs. Glover served as a truck driver in the Army National Guard and for several years in the Army Reserves. Mrs. Glover served with the 230th Alpha Company out of Benson with the National Guard and with the 518th Army Reserves unit our of Knightdale. Her proudest moment was assisting with relief during Hurricane Matthew. Thank you Mrs. Glover and Ms. Prince for your service! We are proud of you both. Thank you to all Veterans!
