Alabama's own Sgt. Curt Griffith of Florence is getting some well-deserved recognition! Senator Tommy Tuberville has named him the June "Veteran of the Month" for his outstanding service in the U.S. Marine Corps and his amazing work in the community. Senator Tuberville's office released a video highlighting Griffith's dedication and commitment to helping others, especially kids in need across Northeast Alabama. Griffith's story is one of resilience, turning hardship into opportunity. Griffith, who faced early adversity, found purpose in the Marine Corps and now dedicates himself to providing that same sense of belonging to the youth in the Shoals area. He puts his skills to work with the local Marine Corps League and the Toys for Tots charity. Thanks to Griffith's leadership, the Toys for Tots program has exploded! It now serves five counties in Northeast Alabama: Lauderdale, Colbert, Franklin, Winston, and Marion. Griffith's hard work has taken Toys for Tots from serving just 200 children to nearly 2,000 annually! He's making a huge impact, supporting families during Easter and Christmas, reminding kids they're not alone. Senator Tuberville praised Griffith as "a great example of what strong leadership and a will to serve those in need can do." It's an honor to recognize Curt Griffith as the "June Veteran of the Month!" Senator Tuberville honors an Alabama veteran each month who demonstrates exceptional service. Know a deserving veteran?
