In Parco della Liberta, translated as Liberty Park, in Vicenza, a new laurel wreath lies beneath the monument dedicated to Italian World War II resistance fighters, marking the 79th anniversary of Italy's liberation.
In the park, Lt. Col. John Wildt, commander of the 307th Military Intelligence Battalion, joined the city of Longare’s veterans and community members to honor the efforts and sacrifices made by the Italian resistance movement. “I am especially proud to stand here today with people of the Veneto and honor those who helped liberate this nation,” said Wildt to the community members of Longare.
