Biography

Edward L. Maragliano was one of four brothers who served in World War II. He served in campaigns in North Africa, Italy and France. While he was serving, he kept a diary. The following is an excerpt: ‘I write this not to complain but to give you an idea of what some soldiers go through to make America safe and free for free loving people, and I hope and pray that this crusade will reach its goal, though some of us must die to obtain it.’
