MURRYSVILLE (KDKA) -- A Marine veteran received keys to a house in Trafford at an annual walk honoring Pennsylvania veterans Saturday.

Eric Seitz was a Marine for four years, serving tours in Iraq and Afghanistan.

At the 5th annual Murrysville Hometown Hero Walk, Seitz was presented with keys to a house in Trafford.

"To be the person that's on the receiving end of it, it's more than just exciting," Seitz said. "This is something that's got me choked up on a regular basis and, it sounds corny to say, but [it's] heartwarming."

The event raised money to help local veterans pay for housing and transportation costs.
