World War I veteran Hoffert keeps patriotism alive in Potter
Amos Hoffert, 86, a World War I medical corpsman and Potter resident, remains a steadfast patriot. He flies a flag daily, bought an American Legion Bell for veterans in need, and recalls frontline duties with Pershing. Hoffert, a longtime Sioux Army Depot worker, cherishes family and his 30+ crawled cane collection. He grew his beard for the 1975 Potter Days beard contest and keeps it to this day.
