A memorial for a Lima man that gave his life for his country is getting a makeover. Many have driven by Metzger Reservoir and not noticed the stone wall bearing a brass plate honoring William E. Metzger who died in World War II. He was given the medal of honor for his service. Boy Scout Jon Frueh has taken on the honor of rebuilding a memorial for Metzger as his Eagle Scout project with Troop 84 of Gomer. He says this project is close to his heart as many of his family have served.
