On November 13, 2018, United States Air Force Staff Sergeant Savi Sohal presented Merced County Sheriff Vern Warnke with a flag that was flown during combat missions over Iraq and Syria.

Sheriff Warnke accepted the flag on behalf of Merced County Sheriff’s Explorer POST #322. The Sheriff’s Explorers sent care packages to troops overseas to show their support for everything our armed forces members sacrifice.

Staff Sergeant Savi Sohal is also a full-time Deputy Sheriff with the Merced County Sheriff’s Office and just returned from being stationed overseas as a reserve in the United States Air Force. The Merced County Sheriff’s Office would like to thank all the service men and women who put their lives on the line for our Country.
