Dignan and his family to the Mahoning Valley and further resolves to support the continued missions and levels of operations of the Youngstown Air Reserve Station.’ Col. Dignan visited Judge Milich’s courtroom here to observe a session of the Youngstown Municipal Veteran Treatment Court as part of the commander’s outreach to civic leaders in surrounding communities.
