Clermont County Commissioners welcomed Colonel Danny Bubp to their meeting on Monday, Feb. 9 and presented him with a certificate of appreciation.

Bubp, who serves as a state representative for the 88th District, served with the Marine Corps in Iraq from January to November 2008.

“It feels good to be home,” said Bubp. “I returned to Ohio the first of December and for the welcome home reception held in Adams County we had two to three inches of snow and ice. The hottest that it got in Iraq, where I was at, was 141 degrees so arriving home, the weather was more than 100 degrees different. I have been gone for over a year and it’s so good to be home.”
