World War II Memorial Plaque

 

 

Plaque dedicated to all the members of the First Hungarian Reformed Church of Homestead who made the ultimate sacrifice in World War II.

My dad, William F. Horosz Sr, was Chief Elder of the church at that time and he and other dedicated church members were instrumental in getting this plaque placed at the entrance to the cemetery.

My dad was great friends with all of them. He would shed a tear every time he heard their names. My mother knew them as well.

They are:

William Chontos

Joseph Galyas

Ernest Katona

Daniel Kontra

John Matta, Jr.

Joseph Trenka, Jr.

None of them returned.

We owe them a debt we can never repay.

So this Memorial Day please think of these six young men and the incredible price they paid.
