PVT Richard John Whitten (1751-1845) of Unity, Maine, 3rd great-grandfather. A soldier in the Continental Army, MA Line, he served in the Revolutionary War (six years and 9 mos.) with his father Thomas and his brother John in Captain Rice's Company, 31st Regiment of Foot Soldiers. Buried at Fowler Cemetery, Unity, Maine. An excerpt from his obituary reads as follows: "Thus another veteran passing from the earth. Fame shall publish and genius chronicles their illustrious achievements...they shall live in the grateful remembrance of their descendants when the marble which commemorates their dust shall have crumbled...."

Pvt Andrew G. Biggio (1926-1944), was killed in action with the Fifth Army, Company B, 34th Infantry Division, on September 17, 1944, in the campaign in Italy. He saw action in Italy, North Africa, and Sicily campaigns. He enlisted while a senior at Boston Latin School. A hero to his family!

Beloved Father-in-law Joseph V. Aieta, LT CMD, USN, WWII (1918-2005), graduated from the College of the Holy Cross in 1940. He received his commission 'Ensign' from the U.S. Naval Academy at Annapolis in 1941. He was among the first class of "90-day wonders" at the Naval Academy and served aboard the battleship Wisconsin in the Atlantic and Pacific; he was elevated LT CMD. The family gratefully acknowledges Joseph's service and sacrifice to our country. Our Dad and Papa, we miss.

My Father in Law served during the Vietnam War and continues to serve his country and honor fellow fallen servicemen at the Vietnam Veterans' Wall in Washington DC. He is active at the wall and helps others without question. He is also active with the Gold Star Moms. He is an example to all and his heart is immense. Thank you Charlie!
