War stories from beyond the grave

Joe Fabiani saw his share of action as a light weapons squad leader with the 2^nd Division, 23^rd Infantry, East Company, during the Korean War, revealing those sometimes harrowing experiences as part of the Melrose Park Library’s Veterans History Project several years back. Five years after his passing, his niece Sandra Donovan donated a recording of that interview to the museum along with a stack of snapshots that capture everything from boot camp to the battlefield. Joe’s oral history will be transformed into a profile that will be posted on the museum website in the coming months.
