Mass. Army National Guard Colonel Honored As Springfield Veteran Of The Year

James Leydon, Communications Director City of Springfield

A man who joined the U.S. Army straight out of college, served in the Gulf War, and who has volunteered for numerous community organizations and activities is being honored as the 2015 Springfield Veteran of the Year.  During a City Hall ceremony, the Springfield Veterans Activity Committee announced the selection of Col. John Driscoll for the 29th annual honor.  Driscoll is personnel director for the Massachusetts Army National Guard.  He spoke with WAMC’s Pioneer Valley Bureau Chief Paul Tuthill.

The record-setting tenure of Springfield Mayor Domenic Sarno. The 2011 tornado and its recovery that remade the largest city in Western Massachusetts. The fallout from the deadly COVID outbreak at the Holyoke Soldiers Home. Those are just a few of the thousands and thousands of stories WAMC’s Pioneer Valley Bureau Chief Paul Tuthill has covered for WAMC in his nearly 17 years with the station.
