Today’s Star Spangled Salute honors World War II Veteran Robert “Bob” Munie. Bob served in the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and later in the Air Force.  For is 100th birthday, he had one wish, he wanted to serve his country again.  Little did he know, his wish would be granted. Yesterday, Bob was surprised and his wish was granted, he was allowed to reenlist for one day as an honorary technical sergeant with the Michigan Air National Guard in front of about 100 spectators outside Lakeview Assisted Living.  During the celebration he was also presented with a key to the city, a deployment gift package, pins, birthday cards from local school children and a check for $127, the equivalent of one month pay for a U.S. Air Force staff sergeant in 1953).  Happy Birthday Bob and THANK YOU for your service.
