Surrounded by family, friends, and dignitaries from Logan County, Gerald Houchin, an Army Veteran, received the flag that flew over the Logan County Courthouse in February of this year.
The ceremony took place in the Logan County Commissioners meeting room and was attended by representatives from several different county offices.
A lifelong resident of Belle Center, he served as the mayor for 16 years, as councilman for 6 years, and 13 years as administrator.
Houchin is also a 1957 Belle Center graduate.
He served in the arms for over 20 years.
Listen to my entire interview with Houchin:
Thank you for your service, sir, it was a pleasure to meet you!
