- Biography
- Italian Father married 5x and Swedish/French Mother married 4x. Was in an orphanage with the twins and foster home -things were pretty bad. I was once shot in the back in Chicago. I enlisted in 63 to get out of the area. The first 2-years were an adjustment period they had to break my street habits. After 12 years of service I got out and married to swell Italian Gal who I've been with for 52+ years now.
We have two daughters and three grand-kids. I'm a strong believer in God and Country. I found making "real friends" was hard to come by. But for some reason I still have a sense of humor. Lifetime VFW member. - Occupation

O Almighty Lord God, who neither slumberest nor sleepest; Protect and assist, we beseech thee, all those who at home or abroad, by land, by sea, or in the air, are serving this country, that they, being armed with thy defence, may be preserved evermore in all perils; and being filled with wisdom and girded with strength, may do their duty to thy honour and glory; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
