The Bay County Veterans Council has granted county Commissioner Vaughn J. Begick the Veteran of the Year Award. The council on Sunday bestowed the award to Begick, R-3rd District Commissioner, during a meeting at the American Legion Post 18, of which Begick is a member. “I was up against two others — a 93-year-old Army veteran and an 82-year-old Korean War veteran,” Begick said. “I was the young guy of the group, but they were active doing community service, too.” Begick, 65, enlisted in the U.S. Army in April 1969 and received an honorable discharge in April 1972. He served as a clinical specialist and was stationed in the U.S. and in Vietnam.
