Joe Noriel 'Does Amazing Work In The Community To Support Veterans'

PETALUMA, CA — Without community leaders, Petaluma Patch wouldn’t hum along nearly as smoothly as it does. We’d miss their contributions in big and small ways.

Patch has partnered with T-Mobile to recognize these often unsung community leaders and celebrate their contributions.

This submission comes from Michelle Rae Miller, a Petaluma Patch reader who nominated Joe Noriel.

How do you know the community leader?

Why do you believe the community leader should be recognized or honored?

For all the amazing work he has done in the community to support veterans, their families and to bring awareness into the classrooms for future generations to learn and appreciate the valuable history of those who served.

Joe gives from a place of respect and kindness to those around him and the community he loves so dearly. He is a family man first and that family trickles out to the entire city of Petaluma.
