Vietnam veteran George Terry is on a mission. Terry wants to make sure the sacrifices of the 957 Manteca residents who served in World War II — including 34 that did not return — are never forgotten. That’s why Terry is being joined by fellow veterans that are members of American Legion Post 249 and Veteran of Foreign Wars Post 6311 along with the East Union High JROTC, Interact of Manteca, and Manteca Youth Focus on Saturday to help the Manteca Mural Society raise funds for a tribute to the World War II veterans.
