Battle of the Bulge veteran Joseph Folino of Hempfield (left) salutes in front of the Battle of the Bulge memorial at the Pennsylvania Army National Guard Armory in Hempfield on Saturday. Next to him is Agnes Lapa, widow of Battle of Bulge veteran Chester Lapa and George Kleckner of the VFW Post 33 of Greensburg. Behind Kleckner, holding onto a post, is LeRoy “Whitey” Schaller of Fairfield, a Battle of the Bulge veteran.

Seventy-five years after the massive German offensive in December 1944, the cold still stands out in the mind of Battle of the Bulge veteran Joseph Folino of Hempfield.
