I served 1985 to 1993. You served too, before the badge - different uniform, same idea. You go where you are sent and you do not get to pick the call.
Lieutenant Nennig gave the Sheboygan County Sheriff's Department 30 years.
Thank you for your service to the Sheboygan community. Thank you for your service before it. Gone but never to be forgotten.
