Guest Speaker
William Falduti
The invasions of Normandy,
France and Holland
"... William Falduti had his
20th birthday in France.
Two months later, in
December 1944, the Army corporal was a Jeep driver with the 82nd
Airborne 505 Parachute Infantry Regiment delivering mortar
shells to frozen Allied outposts defending the crossroads at
Bastogne, Belgium.
The German troops desperately needed to take the crossroad.
Bastogne was critical to the success of the Battle of the Bulge,
Hitler’s last gasp effort to end the war on his own terms. Bill
‘the battling bastard of Bastogne’ wasn’t going to give up
without a fight..."
Stop by to hear the rest of
the story
told by this veteran who
parachuted into Normandy on D-Day, June 6, 1944
earning two purple hearts
and fighting the third reich to the end of the war.

to Joseph Stirratt to toss high into the air as a target. Annie
nicked its edge and Stirratt collected it and gave it to his son
Alan, who, as a fourteen year old rode a pony in the circus.
Alan donated the coin when the Nutley museum opened in 1954.
