Ernie Reda wasn’t able to get his diploma 78 years ago because he was sent to boot camp in 1943 – the year he was supposed to graduate. He fought in the Battle of the Bulge and took part in the Normandy Invasion. Reda’s granddaughter reached out to the school principal and asked if the school would participate in Operation Recognition – a program to recognize those who were drafted and unable to finish high school. On Monday (12/20), Ernie Reda received his high school diploma.
