WWII Veteran and Ramsey Resident Recognized by Representative Emmer

US Representative Tom Emmer recently visited Ramsey to recognize resident, John Graw, a 97 year old World War 2 Veteran who served in Europe and North Africa as a Master Sergeant with the U.S. Army Air Force and as part of the Mediterranean Allied Air Force.  Representative Emmer presented John with a certificate of appreciation and a flag that had once flown over the nation’s capital.  John was also recognized by the Ramsey City Council and presented with a Key to the City in 2015.
