I have been working for some time on compiling a book of records on the military service for the men and woman in our extended Civitano family. I am far from completing this task.
With Memorial Day 2021 here I wanted to take a moment to reflect and remember the sacrifice and great service to our country by these two men.

- If you are a family member reading this and you can help me in identifying any other family members we have lost in battle, I would appreciate hearing from you

It is so sad that so many are killed in war. We should all remember the sacrifices they and their families made. If only there was a way that we could just stop having wars.

That cemetery in France will be having special ceremonies this weekend. You can probably follow them on Facebook. I’m heartened by the care our overseas cemeteries give for our war casualties.
