Monument to be unveiled Aug. 13

Butler will hold a dedication ceremony and monument unveiling for Private Paul E. Angert at Rotary Park on Aug. 13.

Angert was the first soldier from the city killed during the Vietnam War. Angert, who was 19, died April 28, 1970, while serving in the 1st Marine Division. Angert grew up in the Island district of Butler and was the son of the late William and Antoinette Angert.

Councilman Bill May said the monument was due to the efforts of Butler County veterans Sam Zurzolo and Jerry Puff, as well as Eagle Scout candidate Justin Ellis.

The ceremony will begin at noon.
