Maurice Kleyer 

DATE OF SERVICE: 1969 (Vietnam)

Hi Vic and Ken,

I would love to submit my ex-father-in-law, Maurice Kleyer, to be featured on the Vic 4 Vets Honor Roll. Maurice is a lifelong resident of Waterloo, Illinois, and he is incredibly proud of his hometown. My love and admiration for this man knows no bounds, and I have truly never met anyone with more grit and determination.

A proud Navy Seabee, Maurice grew up working hard on a local dairy farm before answering the call to serve his country, working as an equipment operator in Vietnam in 1969. When he returned home, he dedicated himself to the community he loves, spending 36 years as a lineman with Monroe County Electric right there in Waterloo. Along the way, he raised two wonderful daughters Kimberly and Kristin with his high school sweetheart Jeanne.

Maurice is a fighter in every sense of the word. In 2017, he underwent a double lung transplant. His resilience since then has been nothing short of miraculous. In 2024, he was able to experience the Honor Flight—a deeply meaningful tribute for a man who has given so much.

Today, you can still find him living to serve and help others in the Waterloo community. When he isn't tinkering in his workshop or maintaining his three-acre yard and massive, nearly one-acre garden, he is showing up for the people he loves. He is a fiercely proud grandfather who never misses his granddaughter Reagan’s sports games or choir performances.

Maurice embodies the very best of our local veterans: hard work, an unstoppable spirit, and a lifelong devotion to his family, his country, and his hometown. Thank you both for everything you do to honor guys like him.

Respectfully,

Craig Harms (CAH pilot)
