VS: Today is April 5, 2007. It’s Thursday morning. I’m here with Mr. and Mrs. Dominick Marletto, who live in Hermitage, Pennsylvania. Mr. Marletto was a veteran of P.O. Box 1142 and worked at Fort Hunt during the Second World War. My name is Vince Santucci. I’m the chief ranger at the George Washington Memorial Parkway. This interview is part of the ongoing oral history project involving the World War II history of Fort Hunt Park, part of the George Washington Memorial Parkway. Really appreciate your courtesy in allowing us to meet with you this morning and be able to talk [01:00] about some very important times during the Second World War. The first question I had is, if you could just provide a little bit of background information in terms of your family, where you were born, your schooling, whether you were drafted or volunteered in the Army, any sort of military training. DM: Well, I was born and raised in Sharon, Pennsylvania, and been here all my life. I went to Sharon schools. I was drafted. The time came and I was rejected the first time, I think about my eyes, but on second thought, they took me in. After orientation and all that, they sent us to Fort Hunt [01:55]. Well, it was P.O.
