I want to recognize a patriot and true American hero, Mike Zaderecky of Parma, who just celebrated his 106th Birthday! As a private first-class in the 8th Infantry Division, 45th Field Artillery Battalion, Mike served in World War II’s European theater patrolling the beaches at Normandy shortly after the landings. In 1945, Mike returned home and continued serving his community. We are humbled by and grateful for Mike.
