Tuberville Honors John Logston of Enterprise as November "Veteran of the Month"

WASHINGTON – Today, U.S. Senator Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) released a video honoring U.S. Navy Petty Officer First Class John Logston as the November "Veteran of the Month."

Excerpts of Sen. Tuberville's remarks can be found below.

"The Bible tells us to love our neighbor as ourselves. We all know sometimes that's easier said than done. For Petty Officer First Class John Logston of Enterprise, he embodies this every day.

John grew up in a military family-his grandfather was one of the many soldiers who bravely stormed the beaches of Normandy on D-Day. Just four days after his high school graduation, he followed suit and enlisted in the U.S. Navy for 21 years. There, he used his mechanic experience to keep Navy equipment ready to go at all times. John played key role in training up soldiers who were preparing to head to the battlefront for both the Gulf War and War on Terror.

For the last 18 years, John has supported the local military and veteran communities-most notably through his service as the Military Pastor at the Church on Boll Weevil Circle. After seeing how great the need is within the veteran community, John started a ministry called BRAVE to help meet the needs of veterans both in and outside of Alabama. He has helped homeless veterans find housing and supplied vehicles for multiple veteran families in need. John hosts monthly meetings for vets where they can receive peer support and counseling for free. John's efforts have also saved many veterans from taking their own lives.

His peers speak highly of him as someone who anyone can count on in a time of need. It's an honor to recognize John Logston as the November 'Veteran of the Month.'"

Sen. Tuberville recognizes a different Alabama veteran each month for their service and contribution to their community. Constituents can nominate an Alabama veteran and submit their information to Sen. Tuberville's office for consideration by emailing press_office@tuberville.senate.gov.

Senator Tommy Tuberville represents Alabama in the United States Senate and is a member of the Senate Armed Services, Agriculture, Veterans' Affairs, HELP and Aging Committees.
