On this Memorial Day, we remember the ultimate sacrifices of three of our own during World War 1 and World War 2.

Raymond B. Herbert (05/28/1889 - 10/23/1918)

Raymond Herbert joined Goodwill Hose Company in January of 1913. Registering for the draft on June 5, 1917, he entered the U.S. Army in July of 1918, first serving in Bayonne, New Jersey and then transferring to Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, in August of 1918, with a special emphasis on telegraphy.

In October of 1918, Herbert entered the base hospital, being stricken with influenza (the Spanish Influenza) and pneumonia. On October 23, 1918 while at Fort Leavenworth, Herbert would succumb to the virus.

Today, Private Herbert’s remains are interred at the Atlantic View Cemetery in Manasquan, NJ.

Alfred Ferruggiaro (1916 - 11/13/1942)

Alfred Ferruggiaro joined Goodwill Hose Company in May of 1938. Nearly 4 years later on January 15, 1942 he would enlist as a reservist in the United States Army. On February 12, 1942 he would be called upon to serve his nation aboard the USS Juneau (CL-52).

While in the Pacific Theater on November 13, 1942 the USS Juneau was struck by a torpedo launched by Japanese destroyer, Amatsukaze. Among the 687 officers killed in action was Seaman 1st Class Ferruggiaro.

Today, a monument remains in Juneau, Alaska honoring and remembering those lost on the USS Juneau.

Dominick Lorusso (08/28/1921 - 04/27/1944)

After joining Volunteer Hook and Ladder, he would register for the draft on February 14, 1942, entering the Army in January of 1943. After extensive training, Lorusso would ship out for the European Theater of Operations in March of 1944, assigned to Rattlesden, England Air Base.

On April 27, 1944, Lorusso was aboard a B-17F, with nine other crew members. Lorusso was positioned as the top turret gunner. While in the air, the plane was struck by anti aircraft fire, resulting in the loss of the plane. With eight of the crew members bailing, ultimately to become prisoners of war, the co-pilot and Lorusso would be hit, sadly being killed in action.
He is interred at the Beverly National Cemetery in Beverly, NJ.
