DeKalb honors Korean War Veteran, longtime volunteer

DeKalb County recently declared June 14 at Kenneth Streater Day in honor of the Korean War veteran and longtime county volunteer.

Streater, 72, served as a U.S. Marine for three years during the war, returning to become a regular blood donor in DeKalb. He has donated more than 15 gallons of blood.

Streater also worked for 55 years as a poll official for the elections board, including the last 10 as manager of the Tucker precinct. He is retiring from that post this year.
