I'd say it's more of a camp, but that was how CNN described it.

Happy Birthday HOMEFRONT, from Bill Guarnere's site.

I am looking for information regarding my father Themistocles (Tim) H. Faraone. He was a captain in the 6th Army Corps, 57th Signal Battalion and served in Northern Africa, Italy and other parts of Europe. He was a civil engineer and I believe served later in the Army Corps of Civil Engineers. He achieved the rank of colonel before he died in 1963. At that time I was three years old. I wonder if anyone out there knew him.

Many thanks,

Dawn Faraone
