VFW Post 7883 - Westerville, OH (OH0293P) |167732|
VFW Post 7883, American Legion Post 171 and the City of Westerville and, in fact, the State of Ohio, celebrated the 100th birthday of our own Al Surette, USMC, Pharmacist Mate in WWII. Al served in the Pacific and was present on Tinian Island when the B-29s Enola Gay and Bockscar prepared for their missions to carry the atomic bombs to mainland Japan. Many distinguished visitors attended and had comments for the occasion as well as a number of legislators sending congratulations and proclamations. Representatives of the Marine Corps, Young Marines, Honor Flight Columbus, Blendon Township, City of Westerville, National Veterans Memorial and Museum, and others attended and Blendon Township and Westerville proclaimed today, "Al Surette Day".
