Joseph Dante Rogliano


Joseph Dante Rogliano was born on May 24, 1920 in Tuckahoe, NY, son of Alfred and Nancy Rogliano. He had two brothers Aldo and Francis and two sisters Rose and Rita. In Rye his family lived at Highland Hall and were members of the Church of the Resurrection. Joseph enlisted in 1940 and served in the U.S. Marine Corps during World War II.

In a letter to the Rye Chronicle published December 11, 1942 Joseph wrote:

Dear Folks:

Mere words cannot adequately express my thanks for the Christmas package. I can truthfully say that in my three years with the U. S. Marine Corps nothing has pleased or touched me as deeply. It is an ideal gift for any service man. Hitler and Company could never a war over a nation whose people are so definitely behind the service men.

Happy Christmas and New Year to you all.

"Semper Fidelis"
