Heroes Among Us
Anthony Nardozzi, Sr.
We are proud of the many amazing residents that are our unsung heroes. Anthony Nardozzi, World War II veteran , won the Purple Heart for his injuries and heroism. As a radio operator, his B24 plane was shot down near France and after parachuting out, was captured by enemy forces. As a P.O.W., he was on an infamous "forced march" with hundreds of soldiers at gunpoint while holding up a fellow soldier who was too weak to walk. Tony's family did not know if he was alive for four months. Tony has so many incredible stories to tell and his fascinating life history is just one example of what makes United Hebrew shine. Thanks for sharing with us, Tony. |
