Sylvia Michaud-Kessell, left, of South Paris on Saturday receives from U.S. Rep. Mike Michaud a photograph of the cemetery in the Philippines where her brother, Renaud Michaud, is buried. The ceremony was held at Governor’s restaurant in Lewiston. Renaud Michaud of Frenchville was killed in the South Pacific during World War II. Rep. Michaud provided six surviving siblings of Renaud Michaud with service medals, a flag flown over the nation’s capital and a letter signed by President Barack Obama. “This has been long overdue,” said Richard Michaud, the brother of Renaud. “It’s hard to put your feelings into words, but now we can find closure.” Siblings, from left, are Richard Michaud, Germaine Corriveau and Juliette Michaud. Hidden from view are Theresa Couture and Aurela Legere. Among the medals presented were the Silver Star, the Bronze Star and the Purple Heart.
