Veterans honored during city council meeting

Veterans of World War II were honored during last night's city council meeting.

Councilman Kenneth Willis and Mayor Pomierski introduced the Veterans and awarded them certificates of recognition.

Tom Ware of the United States Navy, LCT 592, Hal Schliemann of the United States Army, 77th Infantry Division and 305th Regiment and Jake Jacobson of the United States Army, 1st Infantry Division were all honored and recognized.

At the end of the presentations, Willis gave Jacobson a bottle of sand that he retrieved from the Beaches of Normandy, France during a vacation.

Upland residents who would like to pay tribute to any relatives that are World War II veterans, were asked to call the city clerk's office at (909) 931-4120.
