The Veterans of Foreign Wars, Washington County Post 5108, Marietta, would like to thank the Union Local 168 Plumbers & Pipefitters/Apprenticeship program. When asked, and without hesitation, they stepped forward in regards to a plumbing situation in our kitchen at the Post located at 319 Pike St.

Pat Lang, training coordinator, immediately offered one of the three apprenticeship classes to do the job. Under the professional guidance of Instructor Willie Heiss and retired Master Licensee Plumber John Lankford, the job was completed and done so with expertise workmanship.

Along with thanking, Lang, Heiss and Lankford, we would like to thank and recognize the following apprentices: David Bussey, Derek Foreman, Zach Frohnapfel, Shawn Heiss, Corry Prunty, Justin Thorson and Kasey Tippe.
