Red shirt tribute to Jerry

Posted

Jayne Herling held a celebration of life memorial gathering for her late husband, Jerry, at American Legion Post No. 157 in Horicon, Wis. on June 1.

Jerry went for coffee to the TAG Center in Mayville Monday through Friday when the Herlings were spending time in Wisconsin. He always wore his patriotic "Red Shirt Friday" T-shirt on Friday mornings.

The group at his coffee table liked the wording on the shirts, and they also wanted to express their thanks for our troops. Over the past few years, Jerry would bring back shirts for the gang. There were some who didn't get an "official" shirt, but they always wore a red one on Fridays.

So, to honor Jerry and to continue honoring the troops, the gang wore their shirts to Jerry's celebration service.
