During this year’s Pioneer Nights parade, U.S. Rep. Rob Bresnahan’s director of outreach, Leo Russo, saw the American Legion float announcing Carbondale’s American Legion Post 221 commander, Joseph Dick, being recognized as the Commander of the Year for District 11. After a conversation, he promised and delivered a certificate of recognition from Bresnahan’s office, which was presented during a meeting in September.
