A former Batavia Township resident, OSU Extension office worker and Clermont County Senior Services worker Glenn Welling, has been assigned to a newly created program at the Pentagon.

Welling has served in the U.S. Navy for 31 years, for the last 27 years as a reservist. His experience has landed him the position of deputy executive director for the Yellow Ribbon Reintegration Program.

“This is a reserve specific job in the office of the secretary of defense,” said Welling. “I will be working for the assistant secretary of defense for reserve affairs.”
