To remember the 75th anniversary of the end of World War II, NIAF is recognizing Italian Americans who sacrificed, served and defended peace, freedom and democracy during the war. This entry is a special submission from Russ Coriddi in honor of his father William and his two uncles.

Brothers William, Ferdinand and Pat Corridi served in the U.S. Army during WWII. The photo below only includes William and Ferdinand who had both fought in France and Germany during the war.
