The great-nephew of a late U.S. Army Air Force member recently received shocking — and welcome news — about a relative's death.
In 1944, Sgt. John Holoka, age 25, was serving during World War II in the U.S. Army Air Force when his family was informed that he died in the line of duty.
The family, based in Cresson, Pennsylvania, was given no details of his death — and for many decades, they tried to obtain information about what happened.
