Michelle Witmer had the sad distinction of being the first woman National Guard member killed in combat, when her convoy was ambushed in Iraq last April. Michelle was a New Berlin resident, so the New Berlin Common Council has decided to honor her memory. They are about to approve the naming of a brand-new street for her: Michelle Witmer Memorial Drive.
The street will run past the new library, which is scheduled to open next month. According to Michelle's family, she loved to read, so this is a fitting tribute.
