A little more military history for you: On your Dad's side, your Grandpa Fran's uncles served in World War II, and Grandma Marie's uncles, Angelo Titone and Frank Titone served in the Marines in WWII. Frank was a gunner on the USS Saratoga and was killed by Japanese aircraft. He was buried at sea not far from Iwo Jima. Uncle Sam Titone served in the Army in the Korean War, and was hit by schrapnel, but survived. If you want more names and specifics, let me know.
ReplyDeleteMy cousin Matt was in the Marines, and my cousin Dean was in the Army... they're both second cousins of mine on my mom's side.
