Program honoring World War II families from Tuscarawas County

Local History Librarian Kim Jurkovic will present a program honoring World War II families from Tuscarawas County who sent more than one son or daughter off to war.  The program, held on Monday, November 9 at 6:30 PM at Dover Public Library, is a continuation of the year-long celebration of America 250 and the monthly themes created by the State of Ohio. November’s theme is “Ohio Serves: Remembering Veterans, First Responders & Front-Line Heroes.”  The program was inspired by the book Young American Patriots: The Youth of Ohio in World War II.  The book’s stated purpose was to never forget the debt of gratitude to those who offered their lives in the defense of their country and to create a book for service men and women and their families and friends with the likenesses of the soldiers during World War II.
