What a great Welcome Home Flag Exchange Wednesday night for Tyler Reichert.

His mom Sue and sister Kaitlin were there on Tyler’s behalf to receive his Army flag which was replaced by an American flag. Tyler could not attend personally as he is saving his remaining leave time, so his mom and sister did the honors. Also on hand was Tyler’s grandfather Walt Forroka. Many members from the Marine Corps League Patriot were also on hand as well as members of the Northampton Township Volunteer Fire Company. Citations were presented by Vern Rider on behalf of Congressman Brian Fitzpatrick, Nick Diasio on behalf of Senator Tommy Tomlinson and Pat Caimano on behalf of State Representative Wendi Thomas.
