Council issues proclamations honoring NAS Oceana commanding officer and school crossing guards
Summary
Council presented a proclamation for Captain Joshua N. Appizado, NAS Oceana commanding officer, and proclaimed Feb. 17, 2026 School Crossing Guard Appreciation Day, thanking guards for daily service to students and families.
The council paused its agenda on Feb. 17 to honor two groups. First, Mayor Robert Dyer read a proclamation recognizing Captain Joshua N. Appizado (NAS Oceana commanding officer) for his leadership and partnership with the city; Captain Appizado accepted and thanked city staff for collaboration on airshow and base‑city efforts.
Later the council proclaimed Feb. 17, 2026 as School Crossing Guard Appreciation Day and the Police Department representative thanked crossing guards for their work keeping students safe and for their partnership with public safety teams. City leaders noted the guards’ daily contributions and encouraged motorists to take extra care near schools.
What happens next: proclamations were entered into the public record and staff will share recognition materials publicly.
