Libby’s Bill Lafrance saw more than his fair share of hairy moments while serving our country as a U.S. Marine in the Vietnam War.
Last Friday, the highly decorated soldier who still has a bullet lodged in his back from the war shared some of those stories with students at the Troy Junior Senior High School during its annual Veterans Day ceremony.
Lafrance joined 10 other members of the Troy Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 5514 at the event where they presented certificates and cash prizes for students who participated in the VFW’s Voices of Democracy and Patriot’s Pen essay competitions.
