There was a special Veterans Day observance today at LakeHouse, Sheboygan. The celebration featured certificates of appreciation, an American Flag pinning and a recognition parade, followed by a performance from the Golden Chordaliers Choir. The Guest of Honor through it all was 100-year-old WWII Navy Veteran Al Herwig.
While honoring all veterans at LakeHouse, Sheboygan, the observance was special for Herwig, who celebrated his 100th birthday on August 8th. That celebration included a parade and special acknowledgements honoring his century of life and military service.
Today, Herwig was celebrated for his service in the US Navy during WWII, traveling through the Panama Canal and Hawaii before serving in Guam, where he worked in a machine shop repairing diesel engines and also performed guard duty. Following his term in the Navy he put his woodcarving skills to work leading a local carving club, having his works exhibited at the John Michael Kohler Arts Center, presenting YouTube tutorials and teaching others at the local senior center.
