DeFrancesco reflected upon the war years recently during a visit at his Marion County home.
DeFrancesco was born in Waterbury, Connecticut, on Jan. 29, 1924. His father, a World War I veteran, worked in the copper tubing industry. 
As a youth, DeFrancesco was fascinated by early helicopter prototypes he saw on test flights from the Sikorsky Aircraft company, located near his home. He built and flew model airplanes.

At the National Museum of the Mighty Eighth Air Force in Pooler, 26,000 48-star American flags stand, row by row, to honor the fallen for Memorial Day.
