Duane Dewey, the only Medal of Honor recipient living in Alachua County, now has a street named after him.
Southeast 174th Place’s street sign now reads Cpl. Duane E. Dewey PL, honoring the veteran.
Dewey survived after covering a grenade with his body. This act earned him the medal, and now the street name.
