7News DC celebrated one of our residents as she told the remarkable story of her husband who was a true military hero.  Doug Werner was one of the first journalists to report about WWII and his commitment to our country continued as he served our nation as a diplomat for the State Department.  He is honored in the Congressional Record and his experiences are on display in the online issue of the Newseum, a museum dedicated to journalism.  Ms. Werner enjoyed reminiscing about their time together and the heroism of her husband of 52 years in an interview with journalist Jay Korff.
