Lost Bronze Star returned to family of local veteran
LOWER BURRELL (KDKA) -- Just days before Memorial Day, a Bronze Star is back with the family of a local U.S. Army veteran.
Frank Musto served in World War II and was wounded in battle while serving in France.
He was awarded several medals for his service; and after he died, is children split them up between themselves.
The Bronze Star was in a safe deposit box that went unclaimed when one of Musto's sons passed away.
Treasurer Stacy Garrity and her office worked to track down the Musto family. On Friday, they returned the medal to the family in Lower Burrell.
"A lot of veterans out there that probably have lost medals. It's nice to get it back," son Ron Musto said.
The Pennsylvania Treasury has returned a total of 560 military decorations and memorabilia.
