Editorial: History is in the making
Dell Corner has a great sense of history.
Corner, a World War II vet, pulled off an excursion to the 2004 dedication of the World War II Memorial in Washington, D.C., for five busloads of northern Michigan veterans. Last year, 400 people attended an all-northern Michigan reunion of WWII vets he created here in Traverse City.
Now, he's ready to make history again -- a first-in-the-nation statewide reunion of WWII veterans from every branch of the service, May 31 to June 1 in a Traverse City location still to be decided.
Corner has appropriately billed the gathering as the "last lasting tribute." With WWII vets mostly in their 80s or older, time matters.
Contributions to Northern Michigan World War II Veterans organization can be sent to the Traverse City State Bank, 310 West Front St., Traverse City, MI, 49684. Call Corner at (231) 947-8438.
