Veterans of Ellwood City
All of us at Ellwood City Memories feel that we can not show enough appreciation to all of the men and women that served our country in the armed forces. With all of our heart, we thank you.
A number of years ago Keith H. Hazen exhaustively put together a book listing those of Ellwood City and the surrounding area who served in the United States Military to defend our country and provide the freedoms we enjoy today. The large book is entitled “Those Who Served” and is a tribute to all who served. We are only listing the names mentioned in the book here as the details Mr. Hazen provided would fill our allocated space on the internet.
As much work Mr. Hazen put into this great tribute, there are still men and women that may have been missed or those that have enlisted since the book was published. If someone from our area is unlisted below, please let us know so we can add their name. We would also like to add it to the list Mr. Hazen created so please include; name, date of birth, place of birth, parents name, mothers maiden name, wife or husband’s name, Wife’s maiden name, branch, rank he or she achieved, conflict veteran served, where, the dates of service, what outfit or ship, awards earned, and any other pertinent info concerning military service.

I enlisted in the Navy right after graduation. I served during the Viet Nam conflict, but did not see combat. I served on USS Adroit MSO 509 for 8 months. This was an ocean going minesweeper. I was then trained as a builder for the Navy Seabees. I served 12 months in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. I then served 8 months in Holy Lock Scotland. I was honorably discharged in Nov. 1974. I now live in Hermitage, Pa with my wife Kay of 36 yrs. and my son Kris. If you post pictures, I can send one thru email.
I appreciate what you do for the veterans. My father served in WW2.
Thank You, Russ Knight

Thomas J. Reino was a radio operator aerial gunner on a B-17 Fortress with the 8th AAF in England. 1943. Was K.I.A. while on a bombing mission to St. Nazaire Sub Pens on coast of France. While trying to empress the British with our Air power potential, they began operating before they were at full strength. His group was attacked at the target by 20 plus German Me. 109′s Tobby Reino was from Hazel Dell and had a younger brother Joe Reino. The two were great guys/
We were great friends. Tom and I were teammates at Lincoln Hi. Regards, Al Pishioneri
I would like myself and several family members added to that impressive list please: Grandfathers, Robert Kelly Glass (US Army, WWII), Edmund Flecher (US Navy, WWII), my father Philip Flecher, Sr. (US Navy, Cuban Missile Crisis), and me, Philip Flecher Jr., (Major, USMC, Bosnia, Iraq, Afghanistan).

M. R. Smith
My dad Joseph Zona was in the Korean war. He is not listed on the veterans page.
thanks
Please add my grandfather, Ralph Conforti. He served honorably in World War II in the Pacific aboard the USS Orizaba. He was a Yeoman and was honorably discharged in 1946.
Please post the attached photo, taken in December 1969 at Tan Son Nhut AB, RVN, in the USAF section of the EC Veterans Page. My brother Bill and I served together in theater (by choice) in 1969-1970. The signage in Vietnamese translates approximately to ‘Home of the Red Hats’, as USAF Combat Controllers wore red berets for ready identification.
Thanks & best regards,
Scott
Scott, will be anxious to see the photo when it is posted. FYI, I flew into Tan Son Nhut in January 1995, on assignment with Coca-Cola. The old revetments were still in place, in some cases still holding a mount for a machine gun. If you remember where the old U.S. Embassy was, I lived around the corner at 20 Bis Thi Sach in an American-owned small hotel for 9 months of 1995. A tour of the old palace had radio equipment from that era, probably the kind of stuff you used if you were a controller. I was in-country 1969-1970 as well. Dave

I have three cousins that served in WWll. Interestingly enough, though brothers, they all served in a different branch.Lawrence Eugene Strutt served in the Marines in the Pacific, Harold Wayne Strutt was a bombardier in the Air Force over Germany, and Jack Strutt was in the Navy in the Pacific. William Tillbrook served in the Army in Germany. He sometimes used the name of Strutt when in HS. I can’t understand how all these members of the same family could be forgotten. They were real heroes but I am not the one to tell their stories. Thanks
I sent this link to my mother in law and Pauline Palatka. They informed me that Steve Palatka who served in WWII and Dan Palatka who served in WWII were not lited.

Personal for Dave Larson:
Dave,
My brother Bill was the C/C in the family. At Tan Son Nhut AB he was billeted off base at a hotel on Hai Ba Truong Street, and we managed to miss curfew every night I was in town. Fortunately, Vietnamese guys on motorcycles cruised the bars after hours to bring GI’s back to barracks, as the taxis shut down at curfew. Bill and his cohorts worked everywhere from EC-130 Combat Talon aircraft to the back of a jeep from the motor pool, and his constant companion was the AN/PRC-6 VHF radio set (along with an M-1911A1 and a Camillus USAF-issue pilot’s survival knife).
My duty station was at Bien Hoa AB about 30 clicks North on Highway 1. We had an Operating Location (O/L) there out of which we flew U-2 Sigint and photo recon missions to keep tabs on Charles and his troop / convoy traffic on the Trail as well as radar installations and SAM emplacements. Things got too warm for comfort in-Country by mid-1970 and the aircraft was relocated to U Tapao RTAB at Bangkok where it remained until they rotated back to The World.
Perhaps we’ll meet in EC someday.
Best regards,
Scott
Dear R. Scott Mackey,
We’ve stood on the same dirt. I spent my first two weeks in-country at Bien Hoa as an Army replacement. I learned how to find the guy with the clip-board after morning chow and spent two weeks as “barracks guard” making sure no one stold anything during the day. I read paperbacks left behind.
Fast-forward to 1995. 18 kilometers out of HCMC (old Saigon) on what was then called “Ha Noi Highway” (which we called Highway One) was the city of Tu Duc. Only a stones throw South down the two lane road from Bien Hoa, there stood the bottling plant of Saigon Cola. A dude built it brand new, on speculation that Pepsi, RC or Coke would come back one day and need a place to produce. Coke snapped it up. Never a can or bottle of Saigon Cola was ever produced. Right across the road were rice paddies and water buffalo.
I was told by the Joint-Venture General Manager not to tell anyone I had served in the war. HR put in place a no-smoking policy at the Tu Duc facility. I had stopped smoking for 9 years and started again once I was staring at rice paddies. With the new rule, I went out to the guard shack to smoke. No seats. So I stooped down and assumed position. A Vietnamese driver asks me “your first time Viet Nam?” I said “yes” and he smiled and said “I don’t think so.”
I learned to love those people, Scott. Would consider it a privledge to meet up with you one day in Ellwood City. Kind regards…Dave
Veteran’s Day, Nov.11, 2011: I would be honored if you would add me to the list of Ellwoodians who saw their duty and did it. I graduated Lincoln H.S. 1967; was commissioned out of AFROTC at Pitt in 1971 and served as a Missile Combat Crew Commander in Strategic Air Command and as a staff officer in Tactical Air Command. Air Power!
Wow, I took a chance to look up any information on my father, Victor Short. Thank you so much for recognition of these soldiers. My father received a Purple Heart and went on to marry my Mother when I was 7. They were married for 25 years and he died of Lou Gherigs.
I checked the list , my father who served in ww2 Norman o francis was not there, Also my grandfather Harold Kildoo thanks
My Dad, William Stamm Brenneman, died 14 Sep 2011. He was a great man and so much history died with him. He was a member of this group: The 437th Airlift Wing’s namesake, the 437th Troop Carrier Group (TCG), was activated in May 1943 at Baer Field, Indiana, and remained on active duty until November 1945. And he was in the reserves for many years retiring as a Lt Col. He also loved Ellwood City and had so many wonderful stories about growing up there.
I have some names to be added to the list if possible They are starting with myself

Jim Hardie writes (under “Frisco Pizza”):
“Lloyd “Skip” Haswell was in deed a member of the class of 64. He served as a class officer. I think in our jr. year. He played football through his jr. year and after his graduation served as a marine in Vietnam.”
Looks like we need Lloyd Haswell up above on the list of veterans. No Marine should be forgotten, particularly one from Ellwood City…the Heart of America.
Any Chu Lai air Marines out there from Ellwood? VMF 214 (Boyington’s “Black Sheep” Squadron No.) was at that air base along the beach. Next to it was my unit, 39th Engr. Battalin (Cbt.). Lovely town of plywood hootches on the sand.
