A Rochester veteran is being honored for his work with the veteran community. Larry Trapani served two years as an Army military policeman in the 1960s. These days, he's heavily involved in working with veterans, including acting as statewide and local commander of the Italian American War Veterans and commander of the Sangamon County Inter-Veterans Committee.
