SPECIAL RECOGNITION — SSG George Austin Churchill of Presque Isle was recognized by Gov. Paul LePage recently. 
Churchill was honored by being the top recruiter in the Maine Army National Guard.
Churchill recently returned to the local area after living away from Aroostook County for 16 years. Churchill joined the military in 1996 shortly after high school and served his country around the globe.
He returned to Maine in 2007 to take a job as a National Guard recruiter in the Portland area. In 2012, after five highly successful years in his position, he requested to return to his native Aroostook County.
Churchill stated “Growing up in Aroostook County I learned the value of hard work, good morals and patriotism. These traits were instilled from a very early age and have served me well in the service. Joining the military afforded me the opportunity to learn discipline, gain an education and travel around the world all while serving my country. I am honored to be awarded top recruiter in the state and look forward to continuing my service here at home in Aroostook County.”
His new office is located at the National Guard armory at 120 Sincock Street in Caribou.
