Gov. Gianforte honors veterans during Capitol commendation

Gov. Greg Gianforte on Monday held a commendation for veterans who have not only served the United States, but also their communities.

Those honored during a ceremony at the state Capitol were U.S. Army Capt. Steven Page, of Billings; U.S. Navy Petty Officer Paul Thomae, of Laurel; U.S. Air Force Senior Airman Les Johnson, of Havre; and U.S. Army Spc. William Dooley, of Wolf Creek. 

Each were presented with a Montana flag flown over the Capitol in their honor and letters thanking them for their lives of service to the country and community.
