Kenosha native Edward Maurer’s memory might escape him at times, but he’ll never forget his two years on the USS Wadsworth. • Maurer, 97, was a 40-millimeter gun captain on the U.S. Navy destroyer. It was commissioned following the Pearl Harbor attack and saw extensive action during World War II. • “It was almost a month that we slept with our clothes on because we were going under attack every night,” Maurer said. “Rather get up and get dressed you just keep your clothes on and get up and get out.” • Maurer was one of several Kenosha residents, elected officials, and dignitaries at the annual U.S. Navy Club of Kenosha-Ship 40 Pearl Harbor Day Remembrance Ceremony on Thursday at the Civil War Museum. • The event paid tribute to the more than 2,400 United States sailors, soldiers, and civilians who died when Japan attacked the U.S. naval base on Dec. 7, 1941, at Pearl Harbor. • More details here: https://www.tmj4.com/news/celebrating... • ---- • TMJ4 News in Milwaukee, Wisconsin is your source for local breaking news, in-depth investigations, the latest weather and traffic, and livestreams on news happening right now. • • Subscribe to the TMJ4 YouTube channel: / @tmj4 • Watch 24/7 TMJ4 live coverage here: https://www.tmj4.com/live • • Download the TMJ4 app: https://www.tmj4.com/apps • Sign up for the TMJ4 Newsletter: https://www.tmj4.com/newsletters • • Watch more TMJ4 on YouTube: / @tmj4 • On The Go with James Groh: https://on.tmj4.com/3V1oLvH • Milwaukee Tonight: https://on.tmj4.com/3UZroya
