Did they get on welfare or shuffle drugs into the country in a gang?

They came through Ellis Island and were legal immigrants.

Between the two families, they raised 14 children. They lived on small farms and were self sufficient.

All the children graduated from high school at least.

Of the 14 children, the eight men ALL joined the military during WWII. My Grandmother and her six boys were in the newspapers. My father was a radio operator during the War.

My grandparents were always loving and kind.

My granddaughter is presently at Brown doing her Graduate work. My grandson is at Buffalo U.

I thank God my grandparents made the move to the USA.

WE are their legacy.
