Presidents Message
Dear Brothers and Sisters,
As I write to you this month Fall is here. Leaves
will soon be changing color, we will be enjoying cooler
weather and hopefully the Mets and Yankees will make
it to the World Series.
September 20th Br. Michael Santoro and his hard
working membership committee hosted an End of
Summer evening get together at the lodge where the
invited guests were members initiated within the past
two years. It turned out to be a fun and informative
evening. I also want to thank the lodge officers who
attended and all who baked or brought cakes
and cookies.
Grande. Angelo and Kathryn have worked tirelessly for
months on the parade, Angelo and Kathy know you have
made the lodge and all of us proud of your efforts.
Join our Queen Cheryll D’Ambrosio on October 8th as we
march proudly and celebrate our heritage in Huntington.
The Sangenito band will also march with us. The lodge
will be providing a bus that will leave the lodge at 9:15 to
transport members to Huntington for breakfast prior to the
parade and return to the lodge immediately after the parade
where we will have a collation at the lodge.
SUPPORT OUR TROOPS GOD BLESS AMERICA.

The Humble and the Heroic:
Wartime Italian Americans
At our October 4th Membership Meeting Dr. Salvatore LaGumina will speak about his book, The Humble
and the Heroic: Wartime Italian Americans.
Salvatore LaGumina's memoir of life in an Italian American community during World War II is a poignant
story illuminating an important chapter in our collective memory of the past. It is told with charm and grace
and will be of interest to general readers and specialists on the subject. (Stanislao G. Pugliese, Ph.D. Professor
of History Hofstra University).
The contributions of the immigrant Italian community to
the war effort are legendary—13 Congressional Medal
of Honor winners were of Italian descent and this did not
include Don Gentile who became the highest scoring
fighter pilot in American History. Equally important was
the "unfeigned patriotism" of the Home Front Italians,
perhaps best described by an immigrant Italian mother
whose American GI son was captured. "We want America
to win". We are over here since 1904, we've never been
back... Clearly, her ordeal was one of many required
extra measures of loyalty and patriotism on the road
to assimilation.
This is a history that was needed for a long time. Many
will already have heard parts of it told over the dinner
table or in backyard conversations. Now, writing with
accuracy and much required wisdom, Sal LaGumina has put it all together for future generations. (William J.
Council, Professor of History and La Motta Chair In Italian Studies, Seton Hall University)
