WWII Vet, Longtime Stop & Shop Employee Honored
Braintree vet scouted behind enemy lines during the war in Europe.
BRAINTREE — Longtime Stop & Shop employee Louis San Miguel has been honored with a Citation of Service for his service during World War II — and with a birthday cake.
Long before his time at the supermarket, San Miguel was a lead scout with the United States Army 103rd Infantry Division in France, Italy, and Germany.
“So every night he would go behind Nazi enemy lines to scout,” State Senator Walter F. Timilty explained at the ceremony attended by Braintree Mayor Charles Kokoros and members of the fire and police departments.
