World War II biography of Salvatore Favazza

This is a website by Karen Favazza Spencer about her father. Interesting material about the role of the Navy on D-Day, plus her dad's experience in the Phillipines.



Some of this history is from my childhood memories, some is from Dad’s official WWII naval records. Much is from his best friend’s memoirs. Joe Graham was in midshipmen’s school with Dad at Notre Dame, in Dartmouth, England training for Operation Overlord in 1944, on Omaha Beach for D-Day and beyond, and traveled together to the same tent on Samar in the Philippines in 1945. Some of the Samar pieces are from Lowell Burton’s letters to his wife Kathleen.
