They fought on land, in the air, and by sea… and in 1939, the world as we knew it changed forever. This month we honor the 21 surviving World War II veterans who either live in Canal Winchester or graduated from Canal Winchester High School. In celebration of Veterans Day, we also remember all of those who have served and protected. What you have done for this country will never be forgotten. The World War II veterans’ service and dedication to their community of Canal Winchester, and the rest of Columbus, truly make them hometown heroes!
