LEBANON, Pa. — A Lebanon WWII veteran will be honored with a special proclamation from Mayor Sherry Capello for turning 100 on Saturday.
Dale Chapman fought in the Battle of the Bulge, which was a six week part of the war in the Ardennes region of Belgium, Europe from December 16, 1944 to January 25, 1945.
The proclamation will be presented privately through Community Homes of Lebanon County.
“Dale Chapman is a special and distinguished citizen of the City of Lebanon,” Mayor Capello said, according to a release.
The mayor also said there would have been a public celebration, but everyone must be sensitive to the stay-at-home guidelines.
“We are proud to have Dale Chapman in our Community Homes resident community. And we thank Mayor Capello and the City for this well-deserved recognition of this most distinguished resident," Charlie Rush, community homes CEO said in a release.
