Please feel free to download this PDF of the Upper Lehigh Flag Raising 1944 printed program. It includes the list of names on the Honor Roll, which was NOT a list of those who died in service, but a list of those from Upper Lehigh serving in World War II at the time of the Flag Raising. I see that my dad's cousin George Tancin had already died in action by this date. Note that St. John's Band (from St. John's Nepomucene Roman Catholic Church) was playing that day. The Invocation was given by Rev. Joseph Korman of St. John's Nepomucene, and the Benediction by Rev. J. R. Breckenridge of St. James Episcopal Church. Flags and Honor Roll donated by the residents of Upper Lehigh. ![]() Committee: George Gyuro, Chairman; Norman Knoll, Secretary; Melvin Daubert, Treasurer; George Sheaman, Luther Drasher, Herbert Mealing, Michael Palir, Elwood Troell, Michael Berta, William Sauers, George Weightman, Joseph Kushnerick, Paul Wish, Walter Potoskie.
