Last fall, Logan Otto’s family held a yard sale at their home in Stafford Township. The 8-year-old used the opportunity to set up a lemonade stand, and collected $67.

But he did not use the proceeds for himself. Rather, the Stafford Intermediate School student donated them to VFW Post 10092 in Barnegat Township.

“I wanted to it because my (step-) dad is a veteran,” said Logan. “I’m hoping to do it again, maybe in the summer.”

His stepfather, Jason Hayden, is a VFW post member and served tours of duty in Iraq and Afghanistan with the Air Force.

“We are raising him to be a proud American,” said Hayden of Logan. “He’s grateful for the freedoms we have.”
