World War II Memories – a Time of Caring and Sharing

In 1939 we heard news that the Nazis had invaded Poland. All signs were imminent that World War II was on the horizon. My father, Victor Favino, was in the U.S. Army during World War I. Ironically, his first son, my brother Victor, was born on Armistice Day, Nov. 11, 1921.

Five years later, in 1926, my sister Gloria was born. The 1920s were happy times for my parents. My sister Dolores and I were born in 1930 and 1932 during the Great Depression.
