As mentioned in last week's Council meeting report US Air Force S/Sgt Paul A. Metrovich was honored by the Village of Wellsville for his four tours of duty in the Mid East. The proclamation issued by Mayor Joe Surace was a salute for the sergeant's service to our country.
Metrovich enlisted in the Air Force at the age of 22 and served eight years in full time regular duty. Following those two enlistments he joined the Air Force Reserves and was reactivated for two years after 9/11. In 2008 Metrovich joined the National Guard and is assigned to the 200th Red Horse Squadron at Camp Perry, Ohio.
His four tours of duty in the Mid-East included two different trips to Saudi Arabia, one to the United Arab Emirates and the last to Afghanistan. His 18 years of service has been as an Air Policeman and a member of the USAF Security & Law Enforcement. The Red Horse Squadron is a construction squadron.
When he's not on active duty the Sergeant works for AT&T. S/Sgt. Metrovich, his wife and two daughters reside in Hillcrest. In the picture above, in front, are daughters Angelina (L) and Cadence. Wife Shellie and Paul are behind the two young ladies.
Metrovich just returned home earlier in the month from his tour of Afghanistan. We would like to add our thanks to his dedicated service to our country. It was an honor meeting you and your family.
