We encourage everyone to celebrate and honor Veterans Day this Friday and acknowledge the service of those, currently and previously, in our nation’s armed forces. There are many veterans to honor and one of them is Kernersville’s William S. Gerichten, whose service and story is an inspiration to us all.
Gerichten has lived in Kernersville since the 1970s and will turn 94 later this month. Gerichten, a Purple Heart recipient, served with honor and distinction in the U.S. Marines for 27 years.
For more, see the Tuesday, November 8, 2022 edition.
