Mona Vella:Joseph Dimech was living in Detroit at the time of his service, although he did live in the Bay Area either before or after discharge; and Frank Tanti's enlistment name may have been Francis, rather than Frank. There may also be a problem with Emidio Fenech because he got a hardship discharge immediately after basic training, as his family needed him as a source of financial support.
