Hometown Heroes Recognition
The Hometown Heroes recognition is a Department of Justice award given to local service workers. At the ceremony, a charity drive collected shoes and socks for local organizations serving human trafficking victims.
The ceremony was part of Freedom250, a nationwide initiative designed to honor the 250th anniversary of the U.S. and encourages communities to celebrate local service. Chief Story said, ‘One of the main reasons I feel it’s undeserved is because every success that I’ve had has been because of other people.’
