Wexford County’s WW1 Heroes  

Wexford County Veteran Services is working on a special project to honor our World War I Veterans on the Memorial Wall at the Wexford County Courthouse, and we need YOUR help!

🔹 Emery Derbyshire
🔹 George P. Sommerfeldt
🔹 Daniel Tunney
🔹 Arthur Paulson
🔹 Leon McNamara
🔹 Clyde J. Downer

We’re also seeking the names of any other WWI Veterans from Wexford County who should be recognized and remembered.

Let’s ensure their service and sacrifice are never forgotten. Thank you for helping us preserve our local history and honor our heroes. ❤️🤍💙
