After struggling through the Great Depression, Gerry Tedesco (my great-grandfather) joined the Navy and was stationed in Maine at the start of the war. During the glorified sequel to the Great War, he fought the U-Boats in the North Atlantic Theatre. When the infamous German submarines no longer posed a serious threat to the Allies, he was transferred to San Diego to help fight the Japanese in the South Pacific towards the end of 1943.
