Hello My husband Abel Poletti (AKA Paoletti) was in the U.S, Navy Armed guard in 1943, he served on the Liberty ships in the Atlantic and Pacific. He was at Omaha Beach a week after the invasion, not knowing that his brother Le Roy was in the battle and was wounded in France.
Abel was in a convoy heading for the invasion of Japan they got orders to stop as the war was over.
He never returned to his home in Chicago, staying in the Bay Area. We live in Vacaville, Ca now and my husband is 83. Last year he had a stroke and cannot remember much about his service or the names of the ships he was on. Is there a way to find this out?
I was raised in Oakland, Ca. I had two brothers in the Pacific and one in the Merchant Marines, they all came home safe. Thank God
Sincerely Irene Ogden Poletti
