123 Schuyler St., Boonville, NY. Circa. 1944
Recently widowed Dorothy Christina Cavanagh Moonan proudly standing in front of her home. The two star flag in the window is evidence to the fact that two of her sons were currently serving in active duty during, World War II. A third son, my father, Edward Reginald Moonan had just graduated high school and enlisted and was training at Sampson.
So, in July of 1945 Grandma Dodo had three sons in active duty military during World War II.
Edward served on a floating dry dock in the Philippines until his honorable discharge in August, 1946.
Some gave all. Our family certainly contributed to the War effort. Grandma Dodo was remarkable and must have been very proud of her family.
