Title	Oral history interview with Joseph J. Todaro recorded on 2008 Nov. 15
Description	Interview conducted by Sal Decali. Joseph Todaro was drafted into the U.S. Army. He went to basic training at Camp Wheeler (Va.). Basic training was cut short due to the need for replacement troops in the Battle of the Bulge. Todaro was sent to Europe and landed in Le Havre, France, and went on to join the 86th Infantry Division, where he was an ammunition carrier in the Anti-tank battalion. After the war was declared over in Europe, the 86th was sent to the Pacific Theatre for the impending Invasion of Japan. However, the war was declared over, and instead the soldiers went on to the Philippines, where it was their responsibility to find Japanese soldiers who were still unaware of the war’s end. He was discharged in 1946, and returned home to Connecticut, where he went to work for Colt firearms, before settling into a career as a mason.
