PERRY HALL - Baltimore County Councilman David Marks has recommended Perry Hall resident Robert Eckert to the commission on veterans affairs.

"I am delighted to recommend Mr. Eckert for the Commission on Veterans Affairs, but most importantly, thank him for his service to our country," Marks said.
