The price, Crane and Robinson's Michigan Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) Post 4642 in Linden experienced another first — the swearing in of a married couple.
The Post swore in the third generation, a first, of the Hogan family in November and then swore in its first female, Mary Dunkley, in December. The eldest member of the Hogan family, Woody Hogan has since passed away at the age of 94.
On Jan. 14, Robert (Rob) Stewart, 44 and his wife Cheryl Stewart, 52, were sworn in during a private ceremony.
Rob, a retired master sergeant, spent 11 years active duty with the Army. He is now a full-time National Guardsman. While serving overseas in Iraq, he was stationed in Baghdad for all of 2005 with a military police unit. His unit trained Iraqi police, transported prisoners and worked on other combat situations
Reflecting on the swearing-in ceremony, Rob said, “They welcomed us with open arms. They treated us as two individuals that just happened to be married. It keeps our relationship with the veterans going.”
The Stewarts moved to Michigan in 2000 and to Linden in 2001. Their daughters, Meghan and Kristen, graduated from Linden High School and now attend the University of Michigan-Flint.
Cheryl was a sergeant with the Army and is now a disabled veteran, combat related. She was active for eight years. She joined in response to the recession in Flint in the early ‘80s. After being laid off in 1982, she enlisted in 1983 and reported for duty in 1984.
Overseas, Cheryl was deployed to Dhahran, Saudi Arabia for Desert Storm. She was part of a military intelligence battalion and had two main jobs, a personnel sergeant and a photojournalist. She reported on interrogations and counter-terrorism issues.
Being sworn into the VFW was a proud moment for Cheryl. “It’s a proud moment whenever we can represent veterans. It’s an extension of our military service. I’m proud of our service and they’re a great group of people.
“They do so much for the community and we look forward to that.
“It felt natural to be with those veterans, and they were very receptive to having females there. It was very nice.”
