On Sept. 22, Barnegat Township resident and World War II veteran Walter Augustyniak marked his 100th birthday.

Members of Barnegat VFW Post 10092 had a celebration for him on Sept. 18 at the post home. It was the second time in three years that the organization feted a centenarian. Walter Radcliffe turned 100 in 2021; he passed away in 2023 two months shy of his 102nd birthday.
