Sheboygan County Veterans Memorial Ceremony
86 new names were added to the Sheboygan County Veterans Memorial during Saturday's ceremony, honoring those who served and died for the country.
The memorial honors veterans who are still alive, those who have passed on after their service, and those who died while on active duty.
"He was always smiling,"
said Jarvis, the father of 19-year-old Samuel Klassy, who joined the Marines in January 2024 and was killed in a training accident.
"Life has a different perspective…and what an honor to be his parents,"
said Marie, Jarvis's wife, remembering Samuel's happy-go-lucky personality, which earned him the nickname "Jolly Green Giant" in his unit.
