Join six-year old Amelia on her joyful journey, discovering the grandpa she never met. Amelia's questions prompt her grandmother, uncles, and parents to piece together the journey of an extraordinary man during an extraordinary time. Ship manifests, US Census and Ellis Island records, virtual trips to the National Archives, and V-mails from World War II all add dimension to an American hero and family man who rarely spoke of his past. A picture emerged of the youngest of nine kids from a family of Greek Immigrants who was suddenly abandoned in a New York City orphanage by the age of two. The baby grew to be a teenager who joined his four older brothers in World War II and served in the Pacific Theater. He returned from war to build a family with his beautiful wife. A true American dream!
