Washington County Commissioners recognized a Southpointe business owner for his national honor centered on hiring veterans. Martin Beichner, owner of AccuTrex Products was honored by the National American Legion with the 2025 Employer Veterans Award for mid-sized companies. The honor is given to businesses whose staff is made up of at least 10% veterans. Beichner was honored to receive the award. He said he felt it was important to hire veterans, especially those in need. Beichner has hired several veterans from the City Mission and is proud to say that they are now on their feet in their own apartments and driving their own cars. He said he is blessed that he returned from a tour in Vietnam with all of his fingers and toes and most of his sanity. He said several of his friends still suffer from physical difficulties caused by agent orange. Beichner joined the Navy in 1967 becoming a corpsman serving in South Vietnam. During the commissioners meeting Beichner received his plaque from the National American Legion, a proclamation from Washington County Commissioners and a proclamation presented by Cecil Township Supervisor Cindy Fisher.
