CAMBRIA COUNTY, Pa. (WTAJ) -- It was a day of celebration, not mourning, as a Cambria County native who fought in one of the bloodiest wars ever was finally laid to rest.
U.S. Army Air Forces Tech. Sgt. John Holoka Jr. was laid to rest on Monday, May 1, what would've been his 104th birthday, at Saint Michael Orthodox Cemetery in Portage, the soldier's hometown, after his remains were found nearly 80 years after his death in action in WWII.
