VICENZA, Italy - Soldiers from U.S. Army Garrison Italy returned a birthday cake to Meri Mion April 28, 2022 – 77 years after American troops fighting near Vicenza ate the cake made for her thirteenth birthday. Mion, 89, of Vicenza, was the guest of honor at the midday event, held together with Vicenza officials at Giardini Salvi, very close to where the 88th Infantry Division fought its way into the city on April 28, 1945. Sgt. Peter Wallis, of Seabeck, Washington, who recently won Installation Management Command – Europe Best Warrior contest, presented the cake to Mion, with Col. Matthew Gomlak, commander of U.S. Army Garrison Italy.
