Elizabeth Edwards Father Dies


Vincent Anania died at age 87 in Chapel Hill. He died of heart failure. He was the first of his family to be born in the United States. He was raised in Brownsville PENN. Went to the University of Pittsburgh. Also attended the U.S. Naval Academy, where he played football. He was selected as an All-American in lacrosse. He graduated one year early in 1944. He served on the USS Quincy, which took President Franklin D. Roosevelt to meet British Prime Minister Winston Churchill and Soviet leader Josef Stalin at the Yalta Conference. He also served in Korea. He was awarded the Bronze Star. He was also awarded The Distinguished Flying Cross for piloting an aircraft that carried 13 others to safety after it had been attacked. He retired from the military after serving NATO in Italy and moved to Chapel Hill, where he suffered a stroke in 1990. He will be buried at Arlington National Cemetery.

I think he sounded like a really cool man that contributed a lot to our society and died loved with many accomplishments.
