World War II vet and Episcopal Home resident, Frank Mazzacua, is a retired chemist. Frank was a parishioner
at Mt. Calvary Episcopal Church in Camp Hill for many years. He moved to the EH in 2015, and has been a regular attendee and lector next door at St. Andrew's ever since.

Frank was drafted into the army shortly after his high school graduation in 1944. The war officially ended while he was en route to Okinawa, Japan. Frank was spared combat duty, but remained in Japan, his squad being assigned to humanitarian work with Japanese citizens who were in the midst of a typhus epidemic.
Frank recalls the devastation aftermath of war in the city.

Silver Quilters, a local Chapter of QOV chose Frank as one of two WWII vets in the community to receive
this gift of recognition and thanks as a Veteran's Day tribute.
