The public is invited to a ceremony Sunday to rename West Stanton Street in northwest Lincoln in honor of Marine Lance Cpl. Michael D. Scholl, who died Nov. 14, 2006, from wounds sustained during combat in Iraq.
His family and friends will be joined by Mayor Chris Beutler, Congressman Jeff Fortenberry and City Councilman John Spatz at 1 p.m. at the Air Park West Recreation Center, 3720 N.W. 46th St. A reception will follow.
The street will be called Mike Scholl Street. West Stanton was chosen because Scholl grew up in the area and graduated from Lincoln High in 2002. He died at 21.
His mother and stepfather live in Lincoln, and his father and stepmother live in Friend. His wife and daughter live in Washington state.
Other speakers on Sunday will include Marine Sgt. John Hunsberger, who served with Scholl in Afghanistan and Iraq; Arnold Elementary Principal Kathy Honeycutt; and Cliff Leach, a former state captain of the Patriot Guard Riders.
