Hugh Huber, Carl Larsen and Bill Huber had a blast at the Lakewood July 4 parade.
Monday’s July 4 parade featured, for the third consecutive year, co-Grand Marshalls Lakewood-dwelling WWII veterans Sgt. Carl “Dogface” Larsen and Bill Hubner, who were not featured in last November’s cover story about WWII vets, “They Changed the World”, but who probably should have been.
Huber’s granddaughter, Ashley, sent us these photos and tells us a little bit about the men:
