Winslow Township, NJ War Memorial
Freedom is not free. Sometimes, it comes at a very high cost.

HMT Rohna
Six men from Camden, NJ — Frank Ballerino, Michael Carr, Michael Yachus, Stephen V. Koscianski, Lewis Riondino, and Joseph H. Johnson — died together when the troop transport HMT Rohna was struck by a German guided glider bomb and sank off the coast of North Africa. In addition, six other Camden County men, Jacob Kessler Jenkins and Carl Johanson of Pennsauken, 19-year-old Harry V. Taylor Jr. of Haddonfield, William McKeon of Blackwood, Merl Reagle of Lindenwold, and Elmer F. Day of Merchantville, were also lost that day. Many other men from South Jersey were killed as well. In total, 1,015 men were lost, but the story was never told to the families or the general public for over 57 years due to wartime censorship.
