Foley man named veteran of the month by Tuberville

Posted

U.S. Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) recently released a video honoring Chuck Maglothin of Foley as his August "Veteran of the Month."

"Our service members put their lives on the line to preserve this nation for generations to come. Many of them also hand down that ethic of service to their own children. That's certainly true of Chief Warrant Officer Four Chuck Maglothin of Foley," Tuberville said in the video. "Chuck's bravery and expertise provided critical war support in the aftermath of 9/11. He was in one of the first groups to be deployed to Iraq. He went on to do three more combat tours to Iraq and Afghanistan. In 2016, Chuck finished his time in the Army with more than 3,200 flight hours—most of which were in combat.

"Chuck says one of his greatest honors during his time in the military was swearing his son Jarrod into the U.S. Army in 2013. Jarrod carries on Chuck's love of flying as a UH-60 Blackhawk Crew chief. Chuck continues to use his aviation skills as a mechanical assembler for Collins Aerospace."

Tuberville recognizes a different Alabama veteran each month for their service and contribution to their community. Constituents can nominate an Alabama veteran and submit their information to Senator Tuberville's office for consideration by emailing press_office@tuberville.senate.gov.
