Did you know DHS offers services for veterans and their families?

This month we are honoring the memory of Technical Sergeant Paul F. Eshelman Jr., U.S. Army Air Forces, who gave his life in WWII during Operation Tidal Wave. After being listed as missing in action for more than 80 years, his remains will finally be laid to rest with full military honors in Allegheny County on Sunday, October 12, 2025. Services will be held at the H.P Brandt Funeral Home in Perrysville, PA from 12-3 PM, followed by the burial. The U.S. Army Honor Guard will render the final honors.

We are humbled by his sacrifice and grateful for the chance to honor him with dignity and respect.
