Learning from You Here at Home: Before heading up to D.C. last week, I joined American Legion Post 79 in dedicating a new marker for Sgt. James Huff, a Civil War Veteran who earned the Congressional Gold Medal, and is buried at Pine Hill Cemetery in Port Richey. We must never forget the service and sacrifices of our heroes!
