ABOVE, RIGHT: Lifelong Imperial resident Bill Thomas, a World War II veteran, is flanked by Bill Gamble and Anthony Saveikis. He was the guest speaker at this year’s Memorial Day Parade and Celebration in Oakdale. The 88-year-old was part of the 707th Bomb Squadron, flying 35 missions as a flight engineer and gunner. During World War II his missions took him all over Europe, with his last mission on Christmas Day in 1945. He was honored during his military career with the Air Medal, Mechanic Medal, and Gunnery Medal for his service. Bill earned his high school diploma 55 years after joining the military. He is a 66-year volunteer for the Imperial Volunteer Fire Department. Marching the streets of Oakdale on a warm Memorial Day morning were antique cars and convertibles, the <strong>West</strong> <strong>Allegheny</strong> High School Band, youth groups, scouts, Oakdale and surrounding volunteer fire departments, and more. As is Oakdale tradition, this fitting event honored America and its veterans with the Pledge of Allegiance, and “God Bless America” sung by 11-year-old Shane Treloar. Tom Monari, commander of the American Legion Post 171, and Keith Colledge, commander of the VFW Post 7070, spoke. World War II veteran Bill Thomas was guest speaker. Honoree Rosetta Eglar, herself a World War II veteran, was given the honor of presenting the memorial wreath at the memorial in the heart of town. Pete Longstreth, also a World War II veteran, presented the flag. ��
