A Tribute - Paperback

On June 5, 1942, nine years after author Mary Caputo's arrival from Italy, she met Nick Caputo, and their love story began. The young couple was joyful and filled with plans for future happiness until World War II interrupted them. Nick was attending Columbia University, but left to serve in the Army. After three years of service, he returned, they were married, and their blissful life began. In A Tribute, Mary narrates their love story and pays tribute to Nick, who died in 1971 when two of his children were teenagers and one was just seven years old. Through diary entries and letters, this memoir shares details about Nick's journey during World War II, including deployment to the European and Pacific theaters of war and service in the Manila Harbor. With photos included, A Tribute shares the details of one couple's love and devotion to each other and the tragedy of a man who died too soon.
