The Demby family sent 4 brothers to serve during WWII. The parents Helen and Chaim came from Poland early in the 20th century. Most of their 9 children were born here. Duke, Marty, Al and Ben were in the Pacific except Marty who was with the Coast Guard on ships traveling the North Atlantic bringing critical supplies to England and Russia. Ben won a Bronze star for valor, and when I was a kid visiting Bayonne, I loved to read his certificate on the wall…over and over again. Uncle Al was a union electrician who served with the Sea Bees.
The family home was a row house on the Boulevard in Bayonne.
George Demby’s Dad Saul was another brother who served—- in the home civil defense. We will display all their photos.
The Demby brothers were my uncles on my Mom’s side.
This is truly a saga, and Blogfinger will continue to present these photographs especially as Pearl Harbor Day approaches on Dec. 7.
D-Day, the invasion of Fance took place on June 6, 1944.
