Noel W. Epke H.H. Donkersley Post 19 Yuma AZ Commander
March 28, 2023
Tony did so much for the Yuma community, both for its veterans and its civilian citizens, so much so, As the Commander of H.H. Donkersley, American Legion Post 19 that I started the Anthony "Tony" Rotelella Volunteerism Award to be awarded to those non-Post 19 Legionaries and/or civilians that do the most from year to year in their assistance to our/HIS post. This way Tony's name will be remembered, and also his love for "his" post in hopes that others will follow and pick up his good deeds for all of Yuma. Tony, you are missed, Dorthory and everyone else miss you and I hope this small grateful award keeps your name alive for decades to follow. Noel W. Epke Post 19 2022-2023 Commander.
