We congratulate Carlton R. Fogg Jr. for being named Veteran of the Month (VOM) and Richard S. Keirn being named Veteran Supporter for the Month (VSM)of May. Due to the risk of coronavirus exposure, special ceremonies to honor and recognize the VOM and VSM have been postponed until it is safe to resume them once again.
Fogg served in the Navy as an HM3 Hospital Corpsman for nine years and following his service, he has been incredibly involved in the veteran community.
Fogg has been a committed and supportive member of the veteran community in southern Nevada. He has served as the VFW Post 36 chaplain since 2014 and became the post commander in July 2019. He is safe TALK certified and has served his fellow veterans in providing counseling to those experiencing PTSD, suffering from depression, and contemplating suicide. He also volunteers at the Southern Nevada State Veterans Home in Boulder City and officiates weddings and funerals for veteran families. While once officiating a funeral, he used his medical training from the Navy save the father of the deceased from a severe heart attack and provided care until the arrival of paramedics.
