Ciao Guilaino,

Piacere Signore!

You are correct. My grandparents from my father's family are from Enna, Sicilia. They emmigrated to the USA in the first decade of the 20th Century. I am second generation in the USA.

I had the very good fortune to serve my country in the U.S. Army for 20 years, and while serving, was privileged to serve for almost 7 years in the Southern European Task Force (SETAF) of NATO.

My places of duty were Livorno (Campo Darby) and Vicenza (Campo Ederle) and joint US/Italian duty with the 57th Gruppo, 1st Air Brigade, at the Italian Air Force Base, at Ceggia.

I left Italy in January 1988...it was a second home to me... my Italian language skills are very rusty. Thanks for your spelling correction, and welcome to the forum.

Carissimo John,
I was in your Camp Ederle in the 1980, circa. I was in the MVCC (Military Vehicle Collectors Club). I was the owner of a Jeep (manufactured by Ford in 1943) and I was in Camp Ederle for an appointment between collectors.
Near Salerno, my city, circa 51,5 Km, there is Naples. In Naples there is the Command of SETAF. I know this Base and in the Airport of Capodichino there is the base of the USAF, I know that also.
Dear John, around the world there are many, many Italians and most of them have become honor in the land where they live, like you.
I am proud to be Italian !
I'm Doctor, specialist in Forensic Medicine (as Doctor Quincy, do you know?) and I'm 63 y.o..
I collect weapons from child (my first Beretta Mod 34 at 9 y.o., my first P.08 at 14 y.o.).
I am glad to be in the Forum because I found many friends.
Dear John cordialissimi saluti from Italia
Giuliano
