Bench to honor Henry Polzin
Fifty years ago, on July 31, 1969, Henry Polzin of New Ulm was killed in Vietnam. His 1968 New Ulm HIgh School class purchased a bench at their 50 year reunion to honor Henry that has been installed at the Herman Monument. A dedication ceremony for the bench will be held at noon on Wednesday, the anniversary of his death, sponsored by the class of 1968. It is open to the public. Mayor Robert Beussman has proclaimed the day to be “Honor Henry Clarence Polzin Day.”
