Crews are hard at work providing *** new roof for *** Korean War veteran in the South Hills as *** part of the roof deployment project. Officials with the project say this is the least they can do for someone who served our country. Nice to meet you. Thank you for your service. Michael Seroman served as *** corporal in the US Army and was drafted in the Korean War, but if you ask him, he says there was no greater honor. You have to serve your country, you know, and you try to do your best. And, uh, and I'm glad I get back home. He served for 2 years before coming home, and with it being the day after Memorial Day, Serockman says he understands how lucky he was, especially knowing there were service members who didn't make it home. Serockman is one of hundreds of veterans who received *** new roof as *** part of the roof deployment project through Owens Corning and Habitat for Humanity of Greater Pittsburgh, and him being *** veteran just past Memorial Day, it's *** fantastic thing to do for him and, uh, for the community. Brophy says. Play *** role in this project was *** no brainer. I was Corning being being able to be involved and give this away and us being able to come through on *** little bit on our end, it's just minuscule to what what they did for us.
