Daughters of the American Revolution Choctawhatchee Bay Chapter members Joyce Harrington and Patti Cogdal recently recognized a volunteer who has surpassed expectations.

Marcus J. Michles II, of the Michles Family Freedom Foundation, earned Community Service and Flag Award Certificates during an April 11 ceremony honoring American patriotism, military and first responders.

The DAR National Society Board of Management established the Community Service Awards Committee in April 1995 so states and chapters could recognize worthy individuals for outstanding voluntary achievements in cultural, educational, humanitarian, patriotic, historical, citizenship or environmental conservation endeavors.
