5 The KAVV Honor Guard at Swede’s Annual Fundraiser

The KAVV Honor Guard was on hand to help dedicate the section of 58th Street between Sheridan Road and the Lake as the Honorary Paul Herrick Blvd.

Marine Private Herrick, a son of Kenosha, was killed aboard the USS Arizona (BB-39) on December 7th, 1941. He is the namesake of The American Legion, Post 21 in downtown Kenosha.

I received comments from many of the attendees including State Representative Samantha Kerkman, The American Legion State Commander Eirich, 1st District Commander Stuvengen, and our very own Post 21 Commander Thomas “Woody” Visintainer Sr. below, about the professionalism of the Honor Guard, and what they added to the ceremony!
