As this year's Veterans Week comes to a close, we're highlighting a Blair County family whose military roots date back over 100 years. Williamsburg (PA) resident Jeffery Ellis spoke to WTAJ about the veterans of the Figurelle family, also of Williamsburg, who he dubbed the "Band of Brothers," like the 2001 HBO miniseries.
Ellis is a grandchild and nephew of the family, which he said he is very proud of. He wanted to share each of the veterans' stories and have them recognized as Hometown Heroes.
