He kept scrapbooks of his time in the service and they are some of our greatest family heirlooms!” - Lauren Angelini

“Both of my grandparents were in the Navy during WWII — I wasn’t able to obtain any pics of my paternal grandfather Bruce Campbell, but I was able to get some photos of my maternal grandfather Salvatore Bonanno who put off going to college to serve as a Seabee building naval infrastructure. He was based in the Pacific near Australia so proud of them and all who served and continue to serve, including families, friends, and partners who are fully in it with the men & women enrolled. Thank you!!” - Meghan Slaven
