Vietnam War Veteran Volunteers In The Concord Community

BOSCAWEN, NH — When times are tough, heroes emerge. We all know someone who's making a difference right now as we live through unprecedented and changing times.

Here at Patch, we've launched an initiative to help recognize these heroes making a difference in their communities. Together with Ring, we’re working to let all your neighbors know about these outstanding people and their stories.

This submission comes from Tristan Waterhouse who nominated Roy E. Roy Sr. of Boscawen.

Roy is a Vietnam War Veteran who works at the Boscawen transfer station two days a week, volunteers three times a week at his church's food pantry, Immaculate Conception Church of Penacook, and loves to help people. According to Tristan, he is a very hard worker.

Thank you for all you do, Roy!
