PARMA, Ohio — Members of the American Legion Post 572 in Parma are celebrating the birthday of a hero, and this is no ordinary celebration. It's a party a century in the making.
He's a World War II veteran who patrolled the beaches at Normandy shortly after the landings in 1944. In 1945, Zaderecky returned home to Parma and its American Legion post. "Mike is truly an inspiration, and he's also a great ambassador for the American Legion. People really look up to him and respect him, and everybody loves him," said fellow post member Tony Kessler.
"You've been just an outstanding citizen, patriot and were proud of you—so happy birthday, Mike," Brown said.
