Something in the York High School’s Auditorium lobby never sat right with Social Studies Teacher Justin Riskus. There sits a small marble plaque donated by the Class of 1985 that honors 101 alumni who gave up their lives in military conflicts. Who were these soldiers? What was their story? A ravenous investigator of history, Justin began researching the individual names of the fallen, their backstories, and the stories of their passings.
