Plymouth Township Council Names Day for 100-Year-Old

It’s not every day that someone has a day named in their honor. Then again, turning 100 is a special occasion. Especially for Plymouth Township resident Nick DiDomenico.

The Plymouth Township Council on Monday voted unanimously to designate Aug. 9 as Nick DiDomenico Day in honor of the soon-to-be centenarian’s 100^th birthday.

DiDomenico, who frequents the Greater Plymouth Community Center daily, served in World War II from December 1943 until the war ended in August 1945. Much of his time in the war was spent cooking (when food was available) and serving on guard duty. He earned the rank of Technical Corporal and received many accolades.

Council Vice Chairman Christopher Manero shared awe at DiDomenico’s achievements.

“To survive that and live to be 100 years old …” Manero said. “We’re all grateful for your service, Mr. DiDomenico.”

Following the war, DiDomenico established himself in the trucking business, all while raising two children with his wife.

The Plymouth Township Council presented DiDomenico with a proclamation in recognition of his upcoming 100^th birthday.
