Hanscom AFB, Mass. Hanscom FCU proudly joined the Red Sox Class A affiliate Lowell Spinners to honor the third Hero Among Us of this summer, this time celebrating the World War II service of Donald Surgens.
Now 92, Surgens served with the Armys 99th Infantry Division. He fought in the European theater, including the massive, vital Battle of the Bulge. Nominated by his daughter, Beth Miltner, Mr. Surgens was an honored guest at a recent Spinners game with her, other family and friends. He was recognized during a pre-game ceremony before enjoying the game from a luxury suite.
"Mr. Surgens and his fellow World War II veterans are the kind of hero we should be taking every opportunity to honor," said Chairman of the Board Paul Marotta. "It was a special treat for us, the Spinners, and everyone in LeLacheur Park to do so that day."
The Heroes Among Us program was created in 2012 and relies on community submissions and nominations from throughout the Merrimack Valley and beyond.
