“On behalf of the City of Worcester, we extend our sincere condolences to the family and friends of World War II veteran Dr. John E. McAuliffe. A proud member of the ‘greatest generation,’ Dr. McAuliffe’s decorated military career included an Allied victory at the Battle of the Bulge as well as being awarded both the Combat Infantryman’s Badge and a Bronze Star Medal. Locally, he received the Veteran of the Year Award from the Worcester Veterans Council in 2000 and also served on the committee for our World War II memorial on the Common. We thank Dr. McAuliffe for his dedicated service to both our country and our City and it was a true honor for us to work closely with him on veterans affairs.”
