To honor his impressive work on behalf of military servicemen, the National Guard will present state Rep. Anthony Verga with its most prestigious award next month.
The Charles Dick Medal of Merit was established in 1988 in honor of Major General Charles Dick, a former U.S. Senator and Representative who authored the legislation that created the National Guard. The award serves as a tribute to elected officials for their dedication to and support of the National Guard over an extended period of time.
