VETERANS OFFICE
LOOKING FOR WOMEN VETS
The Mayors office of Veterans
Services is looking for women who enlisted
in the US Military since World War 2.
It is the intent of the Veterans
Office to honor the duty, sacrifice and
commitment women made to their Country.
This honor will take place on Veterans Day
2012 at the Connolly Center (armory).
We would like to make this
same honor as part of the 2012 Homecoming
Parade
Please contact the office at, 617-394-2320
or 2321 for further information.
WORLD WAR TWO HONOR
ROLL
After over fifty years the
Roll Call Board listing all the men and
women who donned a
uniform of this great Country at the start
of World War two will be resurrected at
a new
place of Honor.
The entrance to Everett’s Veterans
Memorial Stadium will soon be the location
for the
new Roll Call Board which at one time sat
on the lawn of the old city hall.
More information about the Board will be
forthcoming. A Veterans Day dedication is
being planned at this time.
Only the names of servicemen and women who
enlisted from the City of Everett will be
part of the board. The names of those served
will be guided by U.S. Government war
time dates for servicemen of WW2, World
War II. December 7, 1941, through
December 31, 1946, inclusive. If the veteran
was in service on December 31, 1946,
continuous service before July 26, 1947,
is considered World War II service.
There will be a list of names that the Veterans
Office has generated and will be available
for your review and corrections at the following
locations:
Everett City Hall, Clerks
Office
Parlin Library
Veterans Office, 90 Chelsea St.

Dwight
C. Shepler (1905-1974)
Commander, USNR
Born
in Everett, Massachusetts, and a graduate
of Williams College, Shepler became a member
of the American Artists' Group and the American
Artists Professional League. Commissioned
in the Navy in May 1942 and assigned to
the Combat Art Section, he first traveled
with a destroyer on Pacific convoy duty.
From the mud of Guadalcanal, through the
years of the Allied build-up in England,
to the memorable D-Day on the French coast,
he painted and recorded the Navy's warfare.
For his service as a Combat Artist, the
Navy awarded Shepler the Bronze Star.
After the war, he
continued his career as a pioneer watercolorist
of the high ski country and served as president
of the Guild of Boston Artists.
