Posted on Friday, September 25, 2026

The Palm Beach County Community Services Department and Division of Senior and Veteran Services will come together Monday, September 28, to celebrate the 100th birthday of one of the community's local World War II Veterans and honor his extraordinary service, sacrifice, and enduring legacy.

The celebration will recognize a member of America's "Greatest Generation" and give family, friends, community members, and local leaders an opportunity to come together in appreciation of his contributions and the sacrifices made by those who served during World War II.

Palm Beach County Commissioner Maria G. Marino will be presenting a special proclamation to our veteran in honor of this momentous event.

World War II Veterans hold a special place in our nation's history.

This birthday celebration is an opportunity to not only recognize one veteran's life and service, but also to honor the legacy of an entire generation of Americans who answered the call to duty.
