Honoring son in Afghanistan

VERNON — I am a proud military mom of Vermont. I am also a co-coordinator of the Yellow Ribbon group of Brattleboro.

I first would like to thank you very much for all of support you have given us and especially the troops.

With the 4th of July is right around the corner,  I thought the timing would be right to honor my son, Sgt. Joshua S. Nadeau, currently serving overseas in Afghanistan with the 86th IBCT Mountain Infantry Brigade, Delta Co. 172nd out of Westminster. This is his second deployment overseas.

Joshua is a native of Vermont and grew up in Vernon. He is the son of the late Stephen Nadeau. He is a 1999 graduate of Brattleboro Union High School and joined the military in 2001.
