How many of you remember the Armed Services Honor Roll Monument that was located in what is now known as the Town Square in Austin, Pennsylvania. As a kid, my friends and I would frequently stop by the monument and look at all the names that appeared inside the glass window. My uncle Fred J. VanWhy's name appeared therein as he was killed in action during the Korean War.
Thanks to Mr. Gary Jeffers, most, if not all, of those name plates were saved. Kudos to Nancy Glover for arranging and gluing the name plates to the wall in the Armed Forces room located on the second floor of the E.O. Austin Home/Historical Society Museum.
