HYANNIS ? U.S. Rep. William Keating, D-Mass., will present posthumous medals to the families of two U.S. Army veterans of World War II at the outreach center of the Nam Vets Association this morning.

Tech Sgt. Joseph Byrne was a private first class in the 48th Armored Infantry Battalion, 7th Armored Division, when he was killed in action in the battle to retake the village of St. Vith, Belgium, a conflict that occurred in the aftermath of the Battle of the Bulge.

He was promoted posthumously to the rank of sergeant. Keating will present a Purple Heart to his sister, Regina Burkinshaw, a resident of South Yarmouth.

Cpl. William Zakrzewski enlisted in the Army a year and a half before Pearl Harbor and was assigned to a transport division in the Pacific. Following Pearl Harbor, he fought in the Central Pacific campaign and saw action in New Guinea. He was discharged in August 1945. Keating will present a number of service medals, including three bronze service stars, to Zakrzewski's son Michael, who lives in Harwich.

The ceremony is scheduled for 10:30 a.m. at the outreach center, located at 569 Main St. Hyannis.

State Sen. Dan Wolf, D-Harwich, state Reps. Sarah Peake, D-Provincetown, and Cleon Turner, D-Dennis, are scheduled to attend.
