Veteran Spotlight – Bill Schultz: I Always Wanted to Be a Sailor
Bill Schlutz is the son of a World War II sailor. In 1962, at the age of 16, he followed in his father’s footsteps, leaving the South Side of Chicago for destinations across the globe. After 20 years of active duty, Bill spent 31 more helping bring new navy ships to life, as a quality control specialist. With his signature big smile, Bill said, “I got to do what I wanted to do and walked the decks of ships for 51 years! I always wanted to be a sailor and loved every minute of it!”
